[QUOTE="whoisbigman, post: 1266812, member: 13259"] The 7.0L motor that has been "rumored" to be going into the Raptor at some point is already slated for production, but my understanding is it's not the Superduty motor and is an entirely different engine. 20,000 units are to be produced by Ford Performance which is too many to be a crate motor or aftermarket engine. It was originally speculated that this was going to be the GT500 Mustang motor, but we now know this isn't the case. The timeline has these motors ready by 02/19, which would make them a mid-year option for wherever they go. The engine has been given the moniker "427 Boss" and has an aluminum block. It is based on the 6.2 (the 6.2 was originally called a "Boss" engine), and has a dry sump and an all new supercharger supplied by Rousch. It's estimated to be 675hp +/-. There is information out there about the motor that can be found but like I stated, it was originally assumed that it was for the GT500 because of the obvious, and the dry sump. Nobody I'm aware of has "officially" stated that this is going in the Raptor, but there is no other plausible explanation because Ford Performance isn't building 20,000 engines to go to the aftermarket... there is no other platform that would require those production numbers from this kind of motor.
