Great work!
Ford's all-new EcoBoost V-6 sits in the engine bay of Mongo Racing's new F-150 desert racer. A custom intake system was fabricated by UMP because the upper shock mounts for the Sway-A-Way coil over dampers intruded into the stock intake's space. Note the red trimmed oil reservoirs for the front shocks mounted above the engine.
Behind the massive 37-inch General Tire rolling stock and to the right of the coil over shock, you can see one of the EcoBoost V-6's turbos.
The rear of the Merritt's race truck is close to stock, including using Ford's factory leaf springs.
A close look at the turbo intercooler with its fan for improved air flow and perforated skid plate.
The transmission in the race truck is completely stock, right down to its non-gated shifter, which has +/- buttons to manually change gears.
“I think this is the future,” Merritt said. “With turbos, there are a lot of companies out there. Maybe this will bring more sponsors and money to the sport of off-road racing. It’s time the racing organizations move forward.”
