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

[1966 F100 Raptor]

Nah! Turbo pops on down shifts sound awesome! And, the COBB Stage II kit I installed make me not care what strict "V-8 or Nothing" guys say. Heck, I can even see most of them saying it in my rear view mirror...

It was fun giving the GT Stang hell the other day. I bet he did'nt see that coming from ANY kind of truck.

Eco1 with tune only ran 13.0 @ 105 on a very hot night leaving at idle. it made 420/532 at tire, this truck quite a bit lighter with prob another 70 hp should run quite well especially considering change from 6R80 to 10R80

LS3 vs 3.5 Raptor

Going to be fun doing them side by side. Weight of engines is within 5 lbs of each other.

105 trap from a truck is pretty respectable. Street tires?

Yes street tires that were 5+ yrs old and very hard. If I left with any boost it would just light em up. I had just filled up with fuel too. DA was 3650 and temp just under 100 deg. The old truck really held the heat underhood so power dropped off a lot with heat soak.

Curb weight on this run was 4750 lbs. Current truck should be close to 1000 lb less.

Actually a vid on my YT channel

Smurf,
As a benchmark my bone stock 2000 Lighting ran 13.80's @ 103mph. His truck is scooting for sure.

I scored a 105 trap in my ’01 Lightning, but that was a looooonnggg time ago, and yes, that is moving out sharply for a truck.
ETA: that was at MIR, early 2000’s...

This might be epic...

 

[1966 F100 Raptor]

Very poor air with a lot of heat soak. Should have gone faster. Guessing prob 40 hp loss vs better weather. Should have gone faster.

This swap goal would be to hit
115 mph & if it hooks decent hoping for 11’s with just a tune. Or very close to engine I pulled and sold.
