Looking for the exact measurements to make a gearbox adaptor from the 2.3 ecoboost in a Ranger. I’m reliably informed it’s the same as the duratec.
anyone have them or can point me in the right direction? Would love a CAD file but just a sketch would suffice!
huge thanks in advance…

 

Yes, same pattern as 2.3l Mazda L engines, which Ford renamed Duratec for use in Ranger RWD

Esslinger makes an adapter so you can use a small block ford(SBF) trans on a 2.3l ecoboost, seen here: https://esslingeracing.com/accessori...sing-adapter-1
Along with crank adapter and starter units

You could of course use a 2001-2011 Ranger 2.3l manual trans as is, on 2.3l ecoboost, but M5R1 trans is only rated for 315ft/lb torque, 2.3L EB has 350ft/lb

Don't see a diagram for bell housing on line
You could get a bell housing only from a wrecked 2001-2011 2.3l automatic and use that for a pattern, i.e. wrecking yard Ranger or Mazda car with bad transmission
Automatics have detachable bell housings

 

I have the tremec and the engine I can “measure” but would prefer a very accurate version!!! Thanks for the extra info… I’ll try other forums . Much appreciated.

 

Try Mazda forums, the L engines were used in many Mazda cars

I see why you want to make your own, lol, pricey adapter seen here: https://www.cjponyparts.com/quick-ti...sion/p/RM8089/
