[QUOTE="xlr8, post: 1925308, member: 21997"] I haven't read this entire thread but i did pick up on a theme i wanted to address. The whole notion about not motor swapping or putting money into a 12-13 year old truck and motor swapping seems to ignore what's been going on in the aftermarket for what 20+ years and especially these days with all the kits available. Assuming everyone here has seen the prices of old trucks skyrocket. Go try and find a nice F100, C10, Bronco, Squarebody...on and on, all are expensive now. People want the style, simplicity and ability to install a new drivetrain. I just finished a swap into my Bronco and will be swapping a 7.3 into my Gen 1 once the 6.2 expires. And yes i know the hp/tq is roughly the same but the trans is much better and there's a ton of aftermarket support. Do i expect the $35k i spend on a swap to come back to me? Nope, and i don't care since it's what I want, i'm not building the truck for someone else. I have owned a Gen 2 and 2 Gen 3's but now have an XLT and a Gen 1 i'm building for Baja fun. My Gen 3 was traded in on these 2 trucks and it made for sense for me to have a play truck and a daily for the same money as my Gen 3. I'll order another Raptor maybe in a year or so but in no hurry since i love this Gen 1. [/QUOTE]
