If cost were not a factor, how feasible would it be to swap a 5.0 V8 swap into the 2017 Raptor?
And feasible meaning not just get it running and driving but a factory-like installation.
You could even run a built/forged 5.0 Coyote w/ a Hellion TT setup and keep all of your on-board...
Seems like I just saw a tire not too long ago that looks similar to the Baja T/A tire?
Looking at 37" Baja T/A's right now, all over $700/tire. Crazy
I thought BFG released a 37" DOT-legal BFG Baja T/A? Are those similar in price to the race tire?
What kind of MPG do you guys expect out of the new '17 Raptor?
After all, it does have a 3.5 EB V6 mated to a 10-Speed Transmission.
The truck is also much lighter, but it still has those 35"s.
Thoughts?
I would be absolutely excited for this truck if it had a V8 option. The V6 EcoBoost just kills me. I have the same EB in my wife's '13 Explorer Sport, its just not an engine I would want in a full size truck.
Please, Ford, please.
I've always like this truck. As far as I know, this is simply just a top perch, glass in the front - and +2 in the rear?
My question is this. Is running glass and top perch enough to clear for full bump and stop? What mods are necessary to run those big 37"s and have ZERO clearance issues...
Source: 2016 SVT Raptor to run 400 HP EcoBoost 3.5L, weigh 4600 lbs
OK, if this is true - is that the weight of the scab or screw? How much more will the screw weight?
Also, could Ford give us a 5.0L option? I know the 3.5L makes sense with all the lost weight - it will be faster than...
1.) There are (2) types of 'project' tires, right? Race Only and DOT approved?
2.) Do both types have kevlar sidewalls?
3.) What are the sizes available for DOT legal use? Is 39x13.5R17 the largest you can go? And can you get 39"s that are DOT legal?
4.) Where would you purchase a...
What mods are necessary to run 37x14.50 (or 37x15.50) on an SVT Raptor, and have no rubbing on full bump or lock? Is it possible to do with stock fenders?
Thanks
Edit: Sorry, pics now posted on my own server, see below
Anybody have any specs/info on this raptor? Looks like a LT setup, 37"s, front rear glass. nice truck:
Any more pics of this?
Hello,
What mods would be required to run 37"s, and have no rubbing at full lock or full bump in front/back?
Also, what would have to be done to correct the speedometer and other computer readings (MPG) so they are accurate? Computer Flash? Gears?
Some 37" Baja T/A's would insane on a...
What mods would be required to ensure that there will be no rubbing at full bump or full lock if running 37x13.5R17 wheels on the Raptor?
Aside from doing the following, what else should be done?
- Fiberglass Front Fenders
- Top Perch Mod
- Flared Stock Rear Bedsides (has anybody done this?)...
Does anybody have a pic of a raptor with the top perch adjustment and 37"s?
Also, how does the top perch setting affect ride quality?
Thanks in advance,

(I dont know if I should get an 08 F250 Supercrew FX4 or a '10 Raptor Supercrew! I love the straight axle front diff on the f250 but the...
39" Baja T/A's on SVT Raptor...
After checking out the Stewart Raceworks Raptor, it got me thinking. What mods would have to be done to the SVT Raptor to accomodate 39" tires? Fiberglass in the front and rear is a must (or possibly just flaring the truck bedsides). Definitely not practical...
I'm looking at purchasing a stock screw raptor 6.2, and one of the first mods I want to do is go with 37" general grabbers, and the top perch mod/alignment.
Can the speedometer calibration be done digitally or will I have to get gears to correct my speedo?
Thanks in advance
(also, what...
