2.3L Ford Performance Crate Engine

If you're going to swap a 4cly, might as well just do a K Swap. Can get a full engine dressed like this for around the same price.

And what, pray tell, is a 'K swap'?

honda K series. The best 4 cylinder ever made.

Just found out Ford offers our 2.3L as a crate engine package - https://www.levittownfordparts.com/sku-ymm/2022-ford-mustang/m-6007-23ta.html

Can't wait to see what kind of swaps are built with this. FD driver Chelsea Denofa has already put one in a Foxbody, and folks are starting to put these in drift chassis like the BMW E36. Seems like a much lighter weight solution to get 350+ hp than a V8, and much cheaper than most I6 swaps.

Based on the QC on the rest of my Bronco, I’m genuinely happy this option exists. That way, when my meticulously-maintained 2.3 pukes out at 117k miles, I can fork over a few thousand $ to breath life back into this [fun, capable, but ridiculously and shamefully junky] truck.

Meanwhile, the stablemate (a ‘23 4Runner TRD Off Road) just laughs and asks for nothing but gas and oil changes.
