The 'world's fastest Ford Maverick' is now sporting the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine from a Lincoln Corsair
Corsair. Gonzalez apparently wasn’t even considering the swap when he picked it up. Instead, he planned to use the 2.3-liter turbo engine for parts development. But when the already-potent 2.0-liter lump in his Maverick was mostly disassembled, he had a flash of inspiration.
Aside from the coolant temperature sensor being in a different location, everything else between the Maverick’s factory-fitted 2.0-liter and the Corsair’s 2.3-liter engine was compatible, from plugs to the wire harnesses. With fault codes cleared after initial start-up, the motor runs like a dream. Such is the compatibility between the two engines, Gonzalez was able to carry over many of the parts he made for the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine. This includes a ram intake, the turbo from a Ford Ranger, and the associated piping. The block is stock, and the car runs a
from Livernois. Better still, the rest of the drivetrain seems to be able to cope with the added power too.by a car’s length and that the 2.3-liter Maverick will keep pace with a Dodge Charger Scat Pack. With a quarter-mile time of 12.4 seconds, his next goal is to lower that into the 11s. He’s confident with a bit more fettling, it can do that before the end of the year.
