Hello All! A little off topic of the build, but I have some exciting news. I started a company with an online site for aftermarket ecoboost parts. I’ll be covering focus st/rs, fiesta st, ecoboost mustang, explorer st, and f150s.

It will be a month or two before the site is up and running but I wanted to get input on what brands/products everyone would like to see on the site.

I will also have 2 sections on the site for community parts, and used parts.

Community parts will be a section for people in the community that have made or designed their own parts to list their products as well on the site and add a sales avenue. That goes for 3d print files for gauge pods all the way to someone selling custom carbon parts or anything in between.

Used parts will be a small section for trusted sellers to list used items for sale as another sales avenue as well!

Any input would be appreciated!

I wonder if you could sell the junits elbow on there? Don't know if they want to make it like that since it's always made to order but? Anyway that's super awesome! Hope it goes well for you.
appreciate it! So far ive gotten great feedback from instagram and facebook groups! And if he will allow me to list it i would! I would just note that they are build to order on the site.

Some more exciting news! The community parts section in the new website is pretty much complete. Anyone who makes custom ecoboost parts will be able to signup and list their products. Please tag anyone you know that is trustworthy and sells their own custom parts for all ecoboosts. (F150s, mustangs, focus st/rs, fiesta st, explorer st) Here is what will be needed to list parts:

1.) images of the product you make and sell
2.) a detailed description of the products and fitment
3.) specify if made to order or a stocked item
4.) the city and state
5.) seller personal description (about you and your products) - this one isn’t really necessary but I just figured it would be cool for the community to get to know the creators

All products uploaded will be reviewed first by admin. Should be accepted or denied within 24 hours (business day)

There will be a $10 fee per sale that goes towards the site BUT ONLY UNTIL the company is making a profit so I can pay for the marketplace every month out of pocket as it’s fairly expensive to host and maintain. Once the site is making a monthly profit, the marketplace section will be 100% fee free and I will not profit off creator sales. I don’t believe I should as I’m hosting that for the community to see it grow and succeed. A lot of you make awesome parts and I want you to get the exposure you deserve.

Anyway, we are looking at about 4-6 weeks until the entire site launches and has its grand opening. PFA
 
Alright, here we go. The sidewinder system was sold. We now have an mt82, just need to order longer transmission bolts, a drain plug, and a shifter. But here it is married to the motor. I already have the s550 rear diff as well and the new 30-770. Lastly I found someone with a totaled focus Rs that’s parting out. I bought his rear subframe and should get it in a week or two.
After some more investigating, the rear diff is the same width as the focus Rs rear diff, and spline counts are the same. So stock RS rear cv shafts should work. I’ll confirm that later on when we get to it! View attachment 421779 View attachment 421784

Random question here probably obvious. But does the mt82 just bolt on to the 2.0? Plug and play? I'm considering building something with my 84 continental still havent decided yet. Would love to do it with the the 2.0 if i do!

The MT82 bots directly up to the block if you are using the ecoboost mustang bell housing. As long you have the correct bellhousing it should bot directly to the block.
