Yes, there IS a V8 Gen 2 conversion. Google PAXPOWER Raptor and 700HP to.

I would do that in a minute if I lived in Texas close to the shop. However, I question if any Ford dealer will touch it under warranty. But that is very cool!

You question if a Ford dealer will do warranty work on an engine swap?

It isn’t an engine swap, so I’d assume they would (unless you got the supercharged version) because Pax just puts on the Raptor suspension and body panels

So it's not an EB to V8 conversion on a Raptor?
It's a Raptor parts conversion on a V8 F150?

The op said: "Yes, there IS a V8 Gen 2 conversion."

If you took in a gen2 they'd do the engine swap. Up 300hp

That's what I understood, hence my warranty comment.

If you only did the suspension then that would be the only part they wouldn't warranty, but unless you get the model with the Raptor engine, why would you do it, as your horsepower would be lower than the Raptor, but with a V8. So the only way it makes sense is to get more power, which means ******** with the engine, which voids the warranty. If you live near this company, then they could warranty the truck, but only if they stay in business.

We definitely considered the engine swap route, but the modules and can-bus might be impossible to overcome. Further, it is cost prohibitive since you have to start with a Raptor. Our conversions are possible largely because suitable F150s are in the $40-55k range.

The OEM Ford parts carry a 24,000 mile warranty that includes labor to replace defective parts. That was one of many reason we went with an OEM level conversion. The dealers we've dealt with so far are excited about the trucks! As for keeping the V8 stock, we think a lot of people would simply prefer the V8 to the V6TT, even if it is a little slower. IIRC, the magazine test show its only a fraction of a second between the two trucks.

For those that do supercharge, we offer the 3year/36mile Whipple powertrain warranty. However, these kits work so well, you're likely paying for peace of mind.

Tons of pictures of everything but the actual engine bay.

So to clarify ...

You do not do V8 swaps into Gen 2 Raptors?

We didn't choose the photos for article, but still happy with the coverage!

Correct.
