A real job from our Edmonton shop
New OEM 3.5 EcoBoost engine — 2018 Ford Transit 350
2018 Ford Transit 350 · 3.5L EcoBoost V6
What came in
A 2018 Transit 350 that earns its living needed an engine — and a van like that has to stay on the road.
What we found
With the numbers on the table, the right call here wasn't a genuine OEM engine or a rebuild — it was a brand-new one, with factory-new internals and no unknowns.
What we did
Sourced a new OEM 3.5L EcoBoost V6 directly from Ford and installed it, handling everything from sourcing to the road test.
The outcome
Factory-fresh, factory-backed power for a work van. Brand-new is the fourth option we always put on the table alongside genuine OEM, an in-house rebuild, and remanufactured — used when the numbers make sense.
