Truck or Car: Get the Right One
In the F-150, Expedition, Navigator and Transit, the engine sits lengthways. In the Explorer, Flex, Taurus and Lincoln crossovers it sits sideways. The oil pan, turbos, manifolds, accessory drive, water pump setup and mounts are all different, so an Explorer engine will not fit an F-150. Gen 1 (2010 to 2016) and Gen 2 (2017 on) engines aren’t interchangeable either. Send your VIN and we’ll quote the right Ford 3.5 EcoBoost engine for sale for your vehicle. The F-150 PowerBoost hybrid uses its own version, so mention it if that’s what you drive.
Condition and Testing
Every Ford 3.5 EcoBoost engine for sale on this page is fairly used and tested. Before listing, we:
- Compression test all six cylinders and leak-down any low readings
- Check both turbos for shaft play and oil in the intake tract
- Check the timing chain for slack
- Inspect the oil for metal, coolant or fuel dilution
- Turn the crank by hand to feel for binding
You get the results and photos of the exact engine with your quote.
Do You Need a Replacement Engine?
A stretched timing chain, a leaking turbo line or a bad coil isn’t a reason to replace the engine. A rod knock, a spun bearing, low compression from damaged rings, coolant in the oil from a failed internal water pump on a transverse engine, or turbo debris sent into the cylinders usually is. In those cases a tested Ford 3.5 EcoBoost engine for sale costs less than a rebuild and gets you moving sooner. Our replacement engine cost guide helps you compare.

- Tested with real numbers for every cylinder
- Layout and generation confirmed by VIN before you pay

Install Advice

Skip the intercooler clean-out and debris from the old engine can damage your new Ford 3.5 EcoBoost engine for sale within minutes, so don’t skip it.
Common 3.5 EcoBoost Issues We Check For
Gen 1 engines are known for timing chain stretch, especially when oil changes were stretched too. You’ll hear a rattle on a cold start and see cam timing codes. Gen 1 engines also only have direct injection, so carbon builds up on the intake valves over time and can cause rough running. Gen 2 engines added port injection, which largely fixes the carbon issue, though some 2017 to 2020 engines rattle briefly on start-up from the cam phasers, and Ford released updated parts for that.
Turbos wear with mileage, wastegates can rattle, and turbo coolant and oil lines can leak. On transverse engines in the Explorer, Flex and Taurus, the water pump sits inside the engine and is driven by the timing chain. When it fails, coolant can get into the oil. That’s one of the most common reasons a car-based engine needs replacing, and it’s why we look closely at the oil on every Ford 3.5 EcoBoost engine for sale we test.
Used vs Remanufactured
A remanufactured 3.5 EcoBoost is often sold without turbos, injectors or the high-pressure fuel pump, and those parts aren’t cheap. A fairly used Ford 3.5 EcoBoost engine for sale usually comes as a more complete unit, has already proven itself in a vehicle, and costs much less overall. For most F-150 and Expedition owners, it’s the better value.
Towing
The 3.5 EcoBoost is a strong tow engine, with its torque arriving low in the rev range. Keep the oil fresh, the cooling system healthy and the spark plugs in good shape, and let it idle briefly after a hard pull so the turbos cool down. Do that and this Ford 3.5 EcoBoost engine for sale will tow like it did when it was new.
