Whoa - I see the 2.0 Ecoboost puts out 240 hp in stock form! I don't know what the packaging, dimensions, etc. are like, but that's some serious punch! Be interesting to find out what transmissions will bolt up to it!
The transmission that bolts up to the Ecoboost engine is the one in my garage! The NC miata 6 speed bolts right up. It might not hold up long with all the torque the Ecoboost engines make, that is a valid concern of mine too.
Also simple bolt ons and tune really brings the Ecoboost to life. Hows does making 350 lb-ft at the wheels with 263 wheel horsepower to match sound with just bolt-ons sound to you?
