- Ever since he picked up this 1969 Mustang 302 Fastback in 2013, Mike @ MPT has been dreaming of swapping a modern Ford powertrain into it. With MPT's continued success in Ecoboost tuning, it was an easy choice to go with Ford's 3.5L Ecoboost V6 Twin Turbo. Now, it's time to get the car over to Todd Fante @ Hot Rods by Todd so he can start tearing into this project.
1969EcoStang
I have been waiting for the day this engine would go into a classic.
What's nice is it can go in as is now and later we can go custom headers, top mount turbos and really get creative with it. Now if we can get it to sound like the Ford GT, that would be the best of both worlds.
I'm so torn, the purest in me is screaming no but the tech guy in my is screaming shut up to my purest side.
This should be interisting.
I'm personally thinking of doing a Ecoboost in a 83 Ford Ranger short bed.
I'm thinking on buying a 1969 mustang for 2 grand his no engine or anything I want it to be fast and a daily driver and it would be my first car how much do you guys think it will cost to give it the engine and trans of a v6 ecboost twin turbo
My Chrysler 300 LE started fine in -30f when my buddies Dakota R/T wouldn't start. Not sure why you can't figure out a carb, but you should have left the old drivetrain in and upgraded the brakes and suspension.
It's hard for me to get past the v8 sound but the ecoboost 3.5's have been changing my mind. I have to say that I don't like the exhaust note on them but their performance is undeniable. Good luck to your swap and I hope it turns out well.
Awesome work guys, that thing looks great! It's gonna be a monster with the 3.5!
So this is an update!...It is Now July 2017!...So when is the 69 Mustang 3.5L EcoBoost Part 2 Coming Out? Thanks and God Bless!
Coming very soon, make sure to subscribe if you haven't already.
My brother is excited for this, he has the 3.5 ecoboost in his f150. He will getting your tunes soon! I on the other hand am loving your coyote tune on my F150, thanks!!!
Should be gone with the 6R80 automatic that comes on most 3.5EB. There's so many complaints from the MT82 owners.
Yeah! Kill those shock towers. I hated these on the Old Ford. they always got in the way of headers.
My friends dad just restored a 69 Mustang identical to this car. It puts a bad taste in my mouth when you put an ecoboost engine into a classic muscle car that deserved to retain its V8 heritage.
nice, and I love the child seat in the back.
You know it!
Very cool Mike! Really looking forward to seeing progress and also seeing it finished and on the road. My first car fresh out of high school was a Grabber Blue 1970 Boss 302. Loved that car . .
It's moving along so fast, the original time line was a year. Wouldn't mind at all for it to be completed before then, just a little harder on the budget to happen all at once.
HA! I better hurry on Eco2, you are gaining fast! Try doing 3 large projects at once . . Time to start looking for more items to sell.
This mustang is going to be a beast when it's done. For me though I prefer the 5.0L Coyote V8 because it has the deep throaty rumble but that's just me.
You get 1/8 of the credit on my side because you didn't do it yourself you just paid for it if you are done yourself even the motor didn't start I still would have gave you a hundred but don't worry my opinion doesn't count
This is sacrilege.
I'm thinking about doing something similar but with a king cobra mustang 2. I'm looking for a good starter car at the moment.
Badass project
Brakes can EASILY be improved. Stop whining.
Ok, it is now Nov. 2017!...So what is your Status on the 69 Mustang 3.5L Twin Turbo EcoBoost engine swap project? Thanks and God Bless!
I'm more interested in your day job to afford to do this. Hire me!
The easier thing to do would have been to EFI swap that 302. There goes all your running issues, you make similar power, and you still keep that awesome sound. The Ecoboosts are awesome, but in a performance vehicle, they just don't have the right sound.
I am planning a similar project with a 67 Cougar. I really look forward to seeing how this project progresses.
What are these engines costing on average ?
I want more video! 😣
Love it man!!! And a "Part 1" where stuff actually gets started, amazing!!
The cat gets a thumbs up

9 months later and no update. I bet they cancelled this crazy idea and put a V8 in it.

yep, @mptperformance
cool!
1:09 anyone else notice the background flip out? 🤔
Aliens
Hiccup?????
Nice project .. got exactly similar mustang 69 fastback. I would like to do engine and manual transmission swap without touching the original frame ( it is must in here for registration inspection...). Would you recommend to swap an engine and transmission from 1986-1993 mustang ? Any recommendation ? Advice ?
Tuck your skirt in, manual drum brakes and manual steering, oh no!!!!
I like this Idea! My favorite car back in High School was the 69/70 Shelby Gt500! Now I was curious why you wanted a 3.27 SRA out of ford Explorer, so this is what I came up with!
The Ford Explorer 8.8 rear end came with 31 Spline Axle Shafts from the Ford Factory! I Did not know that!...Learn something New every Day! Most came with Traction Loc/LSD and from 95+ came with Disc Brakes! Here is a link were I got my info. from:
forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=274343
Now I have a friend who has his own shop and he is planning on building a 67 Mustang with a 3.5L Twin turbo EcoBoost V6 engine Swap as well. While in High School I had a 66 Mustang Coupe and my Idea is to get another one, to do a 3.5 TT EB V6 engine swap with a 6R80 6-sp Auto trans with a custom Paddle Shift setup and etc...or maybe I get a 69/70 Mustang coupe to be different! Keep up the Good Work!...God Bless!
BTW...When will part 2 come out? Also I have a 03 Mustang GT/Cobra Project Car and it has a 3.27 Gear Set with Disc Brakes (5-sp) that came from the factory that way!
wow this will be awesome. ...
Seriously consider installing a set of the new Cuthroat Exhaust Cutouts. Gives that extra performance flow and sound that other cutouts can't. Especially if going Turbos!
Why
Just why
Why not?
Boy!!! Y’all turn on captions to English. At 4:16 start reading them UA-cam is wild for this
EB Taking Over
I put softer brake pads on my '65 stang.
Helped...I'd say about 20% better. Worth it.
That's one beautiful looking Classic Mustang especially in Grabber Blue.
5.0 with a eco boost - best of all worlds! Good Luck with the new build
What is the total cost of this build? What is the cost of this quality of a 69? I know this build can vary greatly at this point in your project but Ive always wanted a 69 mustang with modern mechanical components. Not thinking about cosmetic aspects yet. Engine wise the 3.5l ecoboost, 2.7l ecoboost, or a 5.2l aluminator would make a really cool mustang. This is the first video ive came across of this so its very intrigued. Just wondering how much you'll end up spending.
Guessing total cost when complete will be around $60k. Car was purchasing in great running condition with carb 302 for $23k.
I'm right down the street from you guys with a 2016 Ford Fusion 2.0t. I have a sct x4 tuner with no tune and was wondering if you guys could help me out!? Thanks
For now we do not yet offer tuning for the 2.0L.
Can I have the old engine?
That engine sold quick. Someone got a good deal on a relatively fresh crate 302.
I love these projects you guys make. The 3.5 TT engine is a great motor and this restomod is to die for guys! Good luck!
Fantastic idea, such a project is my dream for years! Hopefully I can get it done on time! Great inspiration from you!
Yet you have the baby seat in the back LOL. Love this restomod bro!
Great video! Ready to watch it get a tune!!!! Sub’d!
Really appreciate that you're using a manual transmission. Any particular reason you didn't use a t56 magnum instead?
Easy of use. MT82 from the v6 Mustang mates up perfectly to the 3.5 Ecoboost.
If it's so unsafe, why the car seat 😂😂
I understand your pain, man. I drive a '65 mustang coupe. Manual steering, manual drum breaks. It's a good time so long as no one gets in your way.
Ain't that the truth. Not for long though, this will be stopping on a dime.
I swear i saw this car up for sale like a month ago with that beautiful Grabber blue paint job i wanted it so bad but it was gone to quick. Im excited for this build. Also I'm sitting here waiting for All the V8 purists to come in raging for no reason lol. Are you guys ever going to ever come out with a ghost came tune for the 5.0 F-150's again??
Wasn't this one for sale, this car was purchased 3-4 years ago at Turkey Rod Run in Daytona Beach, Florida. Definitely expect some v8 guys to say we ruined it, but when it's ripping up and down the street none of that will matter.
Oh ok it just looked exactly like the one I was looking at lol.
Shawn Prickett V8s are sick but 3.5 EcoBoosts are an awesome choice in any V8 (more power, less weight (not much but a little at least) and better fuel economy).
Where are they going to mount the hydraulic power steering and a/c, the 3.5 has only provisions for one. I think there is a guy in Florida that makes and electric assist that goes in the column itself. Good luck
AC isn't decided yet but will likely be an aftermarket unit such as vintage air. Steering is part of the Rod & Custom RC-107 coilover package. We went with a power rack.
I used a krc pump mounted where the a/c would mount. left no place for a/c unless you could use electric a/c off a hybrid Escape.
Ready to see all the up coming episodes...
When is part 2 going to come out, I'm trying to do the same thing with my 66

Or a crown vic 3.27 rear end?
Loved hearing the korn song (take me) in the back ground ; D
Good ears, that was buried in there pretty good during some of the talking.
Are you doing manual or power steering?
Hey Taylor, we are doing a power rack and pinion. Definitely not a fan of the factory manual steering and manual brakes.
Awesome !
Where is part 2 of this video

What happened to this project?
It's a very long involved project but it is still moving. Should be getting footage together for the next update soon.
MPT Performance bet
Dude go for borla s type for exhaust. Sounds good on v6

It's coming along nicely, but we still have a ways to go.
