Has anyone done this engine swap in the S550?

Has anyone done the SP63 Stage 2 700 Horsepower engine swap? I am considering trying to swap this into my 2015 Ford Mustang Ecoboost.

I would run a cheaper eBay turbo like the one below to give the block the power.

I know there's a few in Facebook groups, but not sure if they post here.

700HP is hard to run reliably, most are 600-650hp for normal running. One issue I know is that there isn't enough flow in the heads.

I appreciate the ambition of anyone who wants to do an engine swap. My question would be why another 4-cyl? After all is said and done you could just as easily have had a 700hp coyote. Hell, with the money pit a swap can turn into, you could just as easily buy a used GT and supercharge it. If you want power, there's easier paths. Just rebuild your existing block and upgrade the turbos if you want to make a beast of an EcoBoost.

I’d love to do a swap with another motor but the gt swap would require another car in its entirety to make the swap. This swap would cost about 6k for 700 hp. After I buy a gt I’d have to supercharge it. I’m honestly down for whatever. I have a 7k budget but would love a Chevy big block or something I just don’t know a whole lot about swaps. This engine is just plug and play that’s why I choose it.

Yeah I would probably only run 600 and 650 at the track. The block comes with big ass injectors and a high pressure fuel pump as well.

Does your budget include install, or are you doing it yourself?

I wold be doing it myself it doesn’t seem too bad. I’ve rebuilt the current engine I have now with success. I have a friend that’s also more mechanically inclined so between the two of us shouldn’t be too bad.

Sounds good. I've just always heard you can make good power from the stock block.

By doing what modifications?

 

[lukepawlak]

Bigger turbo, tune, intercooler. Stock internals can take a lot of abuse.

I thought max power would be like 400-420 in that block stock. I do have arp head studs and a custom head gasket.

 

[Hellman109]

Thats the safe limit, some tuners go to like 450rwhp but you make big risks going higher.

but really, they're like 270rwhp stock, 150hp increase is a 50% increase.

It would be interesting to see this swap in a street car. The vendor looks to be a MS3 specialist.

$7k still sounds a little tight. $5200 plus shipping, plus shipping your core, plus the turbo only leaves a few hundred for odds and ends. I'd expect to spend more than $7k and I'm 12 miles from there so I wouldn't be paying for shipping.

Are you sending them your block or having them use a new block? I have been talking to them too about doing the same but have them use a new 2.0 block and stroke it to a 2.3 the 2.0 block can handle a lot more power.

I was planning on sending it in yes.
