Did some checking with Jerry Reynolds "The Car Pro" prior to buying my 2012 F150 Ecoboost. One thing Jerry told me was the Ecoboost is not a new engine - it was just new in the F150 (back then).
It is a very close cousin to the original Taurus SHO 3.5L
(code name Cyclone). The base engine dates back even farther and include the 3.7L version that was in F150 between 2011 and 2014.
The current version of the 3.5L
(code name D35) was introduced in 2017. The biggest change was adding port fuel injection to the direct injection. Several other internal changes were made including redesigning the water pump.
