[QUOTE="CarmanKyle, post: 1047904, member: 20300"] Why? I don't understand the hate for the Ecoboost motors. Yes, V8s sound great, but 450hp, 500ft lbs on a lighter platform, and a lighter motor is not terrible. An intercooler upgrade, intake/exhaust, tune would make the new TTV6 into the 500hp range. How feasible would the swap be? How much money are you willing to spend? Money makes anything feasible. Engine, trans, electrical from Ford Racing. Remove what you don't need, then, install. Emissions legal, no, warranty, no, adding 20k to a new truck, yes, more power? no. There is no replacement for displacement, but when forced induction is introduced, you'll be hard pressed to make a NA motor do what a FI motor is capable of. Can you turbo/supercharge the 5.0? Yes, but will add to the cost or an already expensive build. I love the idea of a Raptor with something different, it may not have the same noise/sound, but every other aspect is better. Look at the new Ford GT V8s are on their way out [/QUOTE]
