Been also looking at the 3.5 ecoboost , and the 3.7 non turbo , the 2.7 is almost the same , still have not made up my mind on which engine or drive system I am going to use on my 79 cruze wagon , which had the 2.8 V-6 in it , planned on useing a 4.0 which I have for a spare for mt 93 ranger , did a test fit and will work , same mounts and the stock C-4 will bolt up to it , even the flywheel , BUT ! the engine is no longer made and perfomance parts are almost none , next I looked at my friend F-150 with the 3.5 Ecoboost , took a ruler to is and looks like it would fit nicley , so done some research and also found the 3.7 non turbo in the mustang was at 300 hp and gave 30 MPG , now we are getting someplace , they do make bellhousings to fit the C-4 , T-5 , and other transmissions , for these engines , next you have to make a oil pan to make it work , looks like a easy one , the oil pump is in the front and you have to have a front sump pan , went on line a found a few intake mainifods that were made up for them , the water pump is inside and out of the way , that is my first choise , last was a wrecked Tesla P100D drive train , I retire in one year and now looking to pick up the things I need to do this if they will fit , the engine is as wide as a 5.0 but short , and I believe is lighter than a 2.3 Lima Pinto engine , please post some photos of it if or when you start , my retirement pinto project building is now finished now on the collecting the goodies i need , Later Blaine
