Our shortblocks have an actual displacement of 2264cc (2.3L) and are assembled by the same technicians that build our race winning engines. We take the same level of attention to detail and care when assembling each shortblock. Each shortblock package has parts picked out to work the best in each given application. Check out the parts lists. and accompanying machine work for each of the options below to help you choose which shortblock will fit your needs the best! All of our Ecoboost shortblocks are based around upgrading from the weak 2.3L Ecoboost block to the much stronger 2L TS block, and filling it with a keyed and heat treated crank, stronger & longer rods, and our Esslinger spec JE pistons.
