Funny that Paxpower hasn't made a peep about this project in ages....

Their website doesn't mention it. Someone in this thread a few posts back said that the project was on hold because they ran into issues. I think I saw somewhere else that a v8 swap with the bronco doesn't work because it doesn't fit. Which would be interesting because they stuff V8s into Wranglers and even Miatas.

Because...

Nothing turns the head of a guy with dirt under his fingernails like high heels clicking on a floor and a V8 rumble.

The Coyote motor everyone cries for and demands in the Bronco is way bigger than they realize. All indications are it won't fit in the Bronco.

I'm sure an LS or some other V8 would, but getting that working with Fords systems is a different story.

Dropping a Hemi in a Wrangler is so much simpler. It fits and it works with the Jeeps computers.

What about NoTraction Faction? Isn't he able to make it work?

How much heavier is a Gojira (Godzilla) compared to a 2.3 or 2.7?

6" wider than an LSX according to this site.

All this talk about 31 flavors of V8s and all I want for a swap is a small turbodiesel 4-banger.

Yes... and no; I want one, but I'd register it down south or somewhere they don't got emissions so I can delete anything they attempt to put in it so I can get longevity, power and economy

It can be made to fit, the problem is getting all the electronic BS to work correctly. There's an australian company that stuffs coyotes into rangers, I think they said it took them like a year and half to figure out how to make the electronics all work correctly.

A little more context with the size. A Boss 429 is 29" wide. These DOHC engines are WIDE, the only Ford engine wider was the old DOHC mod motor lines.

To my knowledge no one has cracked the encryption on the ECU yet hence why all the modules you can buy are piggy back setups. CRP makes a stage 4 turbo upgrade for the 2.3 but it requires a custom tune so it’s just a paperweight if you buy it as of now. That with a few other mods and you have much more power than stock at the fraction of the price of the coyote swap.

I’ll take a gm 6.2 please.

That would be sweet.
