1.6 EcoBoost?
Ford formally announced on December 9th that they will sell EcoBoost engines in a "plug & play" crate configuration.
Can anyone supply actual physical dimensions, availability and cost for a 1.6 EcoBoost & six speed manual?
Info on 4 cylinder engines is still hard to get here in the home of big V8s!
Thanks
Chet

Click on Press Release, and at the bottom it says this:
Contact Ford Racing Performance Parts for more information:
800-FORD-788 (1-800-367-3788) or visit http://www.fordracingparts.com
(I know the feature is for the 2l version and I can't find anything on the website, but the phone may be useful in this case )

Ford are putting a 2L version of this in Falcons in Australia.
Front engine rear wheel drive donors will be available in a few months.
Won't be cheap though, as second hand parts are expensive in Aus.
When the americans start fitting these, then cheap donor engines and boxes will be plentiful.
Cheers,
Nev.

Can anyone confirm that the new six speed manual has the same external dimensions / mounts as the Sigma / Zetec SE 5 speed?
Thanks
