sweet strut mounts!
They'll do in a pinch
Nice engine mounts. 1/8"? I made mine out of 3/16", but yours look fine with all that bracing. And 1/8" is so much easier to work with.

Cool build!! I would love to do an ecoboost in something someday. You worried at all about that trans crossmember? Looks pretty light duty with no real bracing for its intended job.
...
For the next guy planning one out before I'm ready to start (or I commit to some other random non-LS engine), the 2001-2012 Ranger pan and oil pump pickup with a balance shaft delete (and then following up with fabbing some baffling) would be an OE level pan solution. ....(although the brackets interfering with the tunnel surprised the heck out of me).
Congrats, that sounds incredible. Whats next?
Thanks!
Finish the cage, mount the seats, start finishing the wiring (audio, interior fuse box, accessories - until my eyes bleed), and the shaft for electric power steering.
I'm curious how the NPR intercooler will work with the FPP tune. The FPP tune on the 2.0 Ecoboost was a little zesty and it would go into limp mode from the charge temps being too high. I had to send the ECU back to Ford a few times to get a tune that worked well for racing, there's a few 2L engines with holes in lots of pistons and cylinders sitting in the corner of a friends barn. The initial tune was wayyyy too aggressive with boost and timing, and it pretty much ignored the knock sensor(?!?!?!). This was an issue they were starting to see in a few off road buggies/trucks that were using the 2.0L as well. Now SCT and a few others offer tuning kits for the the ecoboost swaps, but back in 2016 it was the dark ages... no one could tune one using the FPP ECU.
All this to say, keep an eye on things.

HPTuners support its now, iirc. That would probably be the best way to go.
