V8 Swap

[Lèòn]

Wow, he was even able to mate the factory manual transmission to the 5.0! And got all the GOAT modes to work! And appears to be faster than any domestic built car or truck! All without showing any proof but a tightly cropped engine bay and modified Sasquatch sticker. Almost sounds too good to be true.

I didn't even realize that, I just took it as "legit"

That shot of the engine bay is seriously clean, cropped, and could be the bay for anything with a Coyote swap...I had the same thought.
Would love to see this in person.

Be sure to bring your cash deposit so you can test drive it, lol.

Pretty sure that engine bay shot is from an Early Bronco. Definitely NOT a 6G.

Cant wait for the inevitable V8 swap though, Jeepers shouldn't have all the fun now

Goal.

How come everyone else is like "Too big/Can't be done/Computers/blahblahblah" and here he is like "Oh, 120k solid, Supercharged w/a 7spd"?

That engine bay is a classic Bronco.... Unless he put a 6g body on a CB, I'm calling BS...

Here I am dreaming of swapping the i4 into my 69 f250 and the v6 into my 61 Lincoln, replacing huge v8’s that weigh a lot and put down under 12mpg on a good day.

is the raptor 3.0 not enough power?

The only way we’ll see a Bronco with a V8 is if Ford decides to make a new engine program for the mustang/F-150 and share it with Bronco. Personally I would LOVE to see a small displacement 3-4L EcoBeast V-8 that could be cost shared across all 3 platforms.

But I don’t think that will ever happen

they did sorta...The Raptor R has the supercharged 5.2.

this is the platform I intend to base my asbuilts off, and module swaps too, in a couple years when I attempt this 700hp+ swap... unless someone else wants to do it sooner I'd be happy to give him a hand with the electronic crap

Has anyone thought of or done a V8 swap? Definitely something I would consider looking into

I have F150s with all three engines. Both eco-boosts and the coyote. The 2.7 is the quickest and the 3.5 is the best for towing. The coyote sounds the best but it is inferior to both eco-boosts in every way, other than that. With all that said, I would still probably consider the coyote just because it would sound so cool in a two door bronco.

Ford could be making a killing with an OEM small block swap, but they’re going to miss out on such an opportunity
