Who knew!

Hi, I’ve found out that the top motor from a Ford Mustang convertible 2010-2014 is almost a straight swap for the e85 motor.
Evidently the hydraulic lines bolt right up but the wiring needs different terminals to hook up to the motor connections.
It’s supposed to have a larger fluid reservoir and a slightly faster action as well.
This is the beast

Fast is good.

I wonder if it lives in a well like the z4,the pipe connections look rusty.

The mustang pump won’t fit in the original sleeve as it’s larger, it goes in the boot ok though
The banjos are rusty as they’re the z4 ones

Wow, that's really useful info. for any E85 owner!

I wonder if a Ford one is cheaper? :roll:

I also saw this on FB - someone posted it a few weeks ago and it just came up again in the last 24hours

Definitely a good discovery
