That's awesome!

I would have liked to see how it performs, very clean swap tho. I dont think I saw a blower on there . Looked like a standard intake manifold …

It has a blower and makes 1,000whp. I think it’s a Harrop supercharger.

He loses all credibility with that statement. Let’s see his custom 7.3 swap win at Le Mans. Or even the Baja.

It’s typical of a show truck, it exists for nothing more than to draw attention. I didn’t see anything mentioning internal
engine upgrades that will reliability support 1000HP out of an engine designed for ~430.

The 10R140 is also massive overkill for an F-150; I also like that he said it’s out of a “full size truck” lol. Guy needs to get a clue, an F-150 is a full size. The powertrain is out of a class 2B HD truck. Which is exactly the opposite of what should be in a baja truck like the Raptor. He needed a transmission to bolt up to a 7.3 so that’s what they settled for.

What they ended up with is a vehicle that meets none of the criteria of a Raptor with it’s 800lb cast iron/aftermarket supercharged engine and a 350lb transmission designed to tow 40k lbs, not shift like a DCT.

Raptor R would humiliate this concept vehicle with a massive cost advantage and factory price warranty. It’s interesting but it has no purpose to exist.

Why the hatred for V8's and cast iron?
