Newbie Picked up 1 of the 5 Raptor Crate engines for F100 Engine Swap

[1966 F100 Raptor]

Here for info on the 3.5 Raptor drive train
I was able to buy #4 of the 5 built 3.5 Raptor Crate Engines.
Plan is to drop it in my 1966 F100 with a 10R80 but keep it 4x2

Interested in best tune for the Raptor 3.5 plus other technical info

Complete turn-key engine from Ford Performance not just a long block was just under 7.5k inc shipping. It's even full of oil, turn key with wiring etc

Truck should be pretty quick as expected curb weight is only 3700 lbs!
I have used Mike @ MPT for my other swap tune and was quite pleased. It's been a few years now but just here learning . .

Your truck looks awesome and will have plenty of getty-up but it is going to sound like ass.

To be on the safe side, you better check the oil level now! Some trucks were delivered to customers a little low. LOL.

Sounds like a cool/different project. Beats an LS swap, for originality anyway.

It had the SOUND with other engine but decided there is a lot more than sound. I will keep this exhaust initially but may add a couple more mufflers if need be. The last swap truck I did I kept stock exhaust and was so quiet no real sound.
