2.3L EcoBEAST short block

[Q1svt]

Wondering if anyone knows of a good write up or an engine build video using the FP 2.3L EcoBeast block, into a complete engine?

I have the Ford stuff about the block.

Thanks in advance…

I'd rock one with custom tuning

Waiting for Q1svt to now roast CarmeloS for posting irrelevant information in his thread on a product that is no longer available.

What can I say, I saw it, wanna go big power and got excited, plus I'm at work, I don't have the luxury of studying it fully

Oh it wasn’t a dig at you by any means. Banter, thoughts and opinion is what forums are for.

information in his thread on a product that is no longer available.

Nice to see you actually did some research….

But missed that people are selling 2.3L crankshafts with the balancer gear remove…. Hmmm I wonder WHY.

Oh if you have so many opinions why is your thread count. Zero?

edited but then how could miss it. Lol

Looking for others help…

I think to do it and have long life need to get around the balancer.

It says “No longer available” at the top of the page you linked.

I search and find answers. No need to start threads.

The balancing assembly is there to reduce engine vibration. The balance shaft/gear/assembly gets removed on engines for performance reasons. It’s been common practice in racing applications on inline 4 cylinder engines, since forever. Reducing rotational mass in an off road vehicle with a manual transmission and small 4 cylinder engine doesn’t sound like a good idea to me.

So why not study what others did to this motor or what ford/suppliers did to this short block?

A simple way to get free information… expert knowledge; not opinions

Why aren’t you doing the same, rather than just posting on a forum and expecting others to do the work for you, then getting upset when they don’t

@Q1svt here is some expert knowledge:

1) No custom tuning is available for the 2.3 in a bronco
2) Custom tuning is available for the 2.7
3) Sell 2.3 Bronco and buy a 2.7 Bronco
4) Only install toilet paper in the over configuration

Yes, Ford has made 4 cylinder engines since Henry came out with his model T... all without counter balancing shafts. WHY without
Here are a couple more recent ford motors without, that people simply balance the 4 cylinder as has always been done... a 2.0LL in imports to USA '1970 Capri' also know as/ used in a PINTO

may want to google this guys... might learn things if you're open mined
After Ducati share the new 2.3L MPC bore, stroke, and rod ratio, I share David's view on those numbers... ;^)

See we do agree... I NEVER said it was for my 2.3L bronco... Where and why you created that nonsense or felt the need to express it is interesting ... same with needing to post how a 'balancing shaft - works'


Hey Smacktime...

@Q1svt here is some expert knowledge:

Guess you are still mad about my simple question re:Rigging a WINCH recovery. Or should we say YOUR reply lmao

concerned about a bronco recovery point but okay with simple boat cleats?

In stead of how to with a winch, just use a boat rigging wt@

Buy the 2.7 if you wanna brag about almost having a V8. Buy an I4 if you wanna make it past 100,000k with no issues

The 4 banger does fine! I really don't feel out gunned unless at a stop light but I am turning 37s.

I never said you wanted it in your bronco. I figured you were smart enough to understand that how they strengthened the bores would result in a loss of cooling capability. Something you’re super concerned about. You’d need a fan to cool your fans.
