Just fishing for opinions.
The ecoboost is small, cheap(used) , lightweight, and puts out nearly 300 HP. Seems like a sensible swap. How would one go about getting an adapter to the manual trans, plus clutch/flywheel. Nearly 300 HP is probably more than the rest of the systems can take, and would shed about 75 lbs off the extreme rear end of the chassis.

what say all?
