No. Ford has a 2.3 ecoboost that is slated for the Fusion ST and 2015 Mustang at the very least. It's not an MZR disi, it's a descendant.

Looks like Cobb will have a new vehicle for their AccessPort. (I'd roll)

Thanks for clearing that up. What they need to do is throw the ecoboost V6 from the F-150 into the new mustang... 365hp/420ft-lbs.... we have an extended cab at work that is a beast. I can only imagine that same engine thrown into a much lighter rwd car.

Yeah that Ecoboost F-150 is nice.

Neighbor bought one and not really much of a truck guy but for some reason I like it.

Nice looks, great power, good mileage.

It's in the Taurus SHO

The 2014 SHO is rated at 365/350 and weighs 4455 lbs.

And I thought the Charger was a bloated pig...

Here's the weird part for the F150 curb weights:

Base Curb Weight - 3.5L V6 EcoBoost (lbs) - - 5073
Base Curb Weight - 3.7L V6 (lbs) - - 4685
Base Curb Weight - 5.0L V8 (lbs) - - 4791

So you'd have to presume plopping it in the Mustang would make it 250lbs heavier than the GT. That would suck.

Not going to happen. They use a different injector type. The Ecoboost's all use the same injector type with difference capacities as needed.
