    WOW! That's cracking. I hope in time we will see some more Ecoboosts finding their way into old Fords.

    Very nice. I'm currently doing a NA 2.5 with the same gearbox in my Estate. What did you do for a gearbox mount?

    That's fantastic, interesting build. Are these late engines strong? I associate late cars with their engines as appliances

    I don't think anything that produces higher torque figures than hp numbers can be described as 'weak'! That seems to be a seriously unstressed engine!

    Anything is easy with a turbo, it’s more where it makes it that counts rather than the figure.
