GEN 2 V8 Raptor Conversion

Forgive me if this is a repost. Just saw this video today. Looks like a replica will run you about $25k, on top of the cost of an F150. And I don’t believe that’s with a supercharger. The loaded, supercharged F150 as seen replica is about 100k

Still would never get the resale of an actual Raptor, and it’s still an imitation, but damn that thing is making a ton of power.

But the 1 thing it will Never have is the much improved Raptor frame!

That video has been posted here several times, but thanks for sharing.

It's definitely not a Raptor and won't come anywhere close to commanding the residual value a Raptor will.

However, I doubt many of those will even see the street. Ford furiously protects their IP (just ask rappygraphics), and with the Raptor being their flagship truck, they're not going to sit on their hands and allow some guys down in Texas to rip off their trademarks.

I'd be surprised if they haven't received a C&D letter from Ford already.

tks for the heads up

Yep. The frame. I thought about that as well. I guess we can all just hope for a V8 Raptor in the next few years

Saw that video last week. Do they actually re-gear and or use the wider rear axle in the rear like the Raptor? I would hope so for 25k
