It should be the same mountings as a 1.6 sigma zetec, afaik raw can supply these to suit.
There may be space issues depending upon turbo positioning.
There's some pics here;

Caterham and Westfield also fit this engine as standard so may be pictures if you google. But I suspect the only way is to use the ac and ps mounting points near the front of the engine. As said the bock is the same as the zetec se/sigma engine.

Are you on Facebook? If so look up AB Performance as they are putting an Ecoboost in a new car for Aries Motorsport and have loads of build pictures of the last 6-8 months on the page.

Edit. The AB cars were originally based on modified Striker chassis
