Ford is hoping to kick off interest in the EcoBoost engine platform with this 1934 Ford. Ford engineers with help from Detroit Street Rods decided to swap out the original engine to a twin turbocharged EcoBoost V6. Since the engine and Honeywell turbos are factory the engine is putting out about 400 horsepower and 400 torque. The engine is connected to a Tremec five-speed transmission. The first chance anyone will get their hands on this RWD TT V6 setup is on the 2011 F-150. I am sure enthusiasts will be keeping their eyes open in the junk yards.

This Datsun needs some attention to the exterior but would be a great project car. Owner seems to do a decent job of detailing the issues.

This 1939 Ford is another great creation from Divers Street Rods. The supercharged 5.4L V8 used in this swap is from a Ford GT. I would love to know how much hard work went into switching the engine from a mid to a front location. Looking through the gallery shows how much attention is spent on their projects. The metal fabrication is incredible.

DeLorean’s came with a calm 2.8L V6 which is why it took so much distance for Marty to reach 88 mph. This DeLorean has no such problem thanks to the swapped turbocharged 2JZ. Currently the owner is still working out all the bugs but hopes soon to get it into the 11’s.
