ok, so started a daily driver project, nice old P100, just bought a 0 mile take out engine from a 2019 raptor F150, 3.5 v6 twin turbo ecoboost, in stock trim from the factory these give 450hp and 510lb/ft, with a bit of tuning and bolt on goodies, makes an easy 600hp+ at the wheels, not going to do much with the body, i like the sleeper look, but it will have a nice set of 18's,

 

EcoBoost P100, Nice.

This will be one to watch no doubt.

 

Great project, have you seen this ?

 

yes, been chatting with the bloke, my mate is also fitting a raptor engine in his black 3dr, my mates 3 dr was the one with the dodge viper engine fitted, he pulled the viper engine and sold that, the raptor engine is more tuneable and much much lighter

 

Coooool project. I like projects when there little bit different.

 

well after what seems like a long wait, finally got my engine, 0 mile take out, complete with turbos (although they will be upgraded), although didn't come with ecu, so thats been ordered from somewhere else, got to now piece together the rest of the part, complete loom from an F150, dash loom has to be from a raptor so its got the flappy paddle wiring, rest of the loom can come from any similar year F150 i believe, also got to sort gearbox, the Raptor was only available as 4x4, plenty 2wd gearboxes around though and not mega money, hopefully have most of the parts i need by August so i can crate them up and send to the uk for fitting

 

Where do you source your stuff from over in America? I find its much easier to find/source stuff when I was living in the UK. America is a pita for getting things.

Some stuff I have found but on the whole everything is stupidly expensive or miles away.

I'm currently deciding on a gearbox for my sierra, I was planning on using a b6 s4 gearbox welded up to be rwd so I got a 6 speed with reasonable ratios and quite strong. I'm just waiting for my mate to lend me his to use to mock up or my already purchased box from the UK to be shipped over (I bought one a while ago when my friend stripped a b6 s4) I just don't have much faith that the tunnel is wide enough for the box.

 

i find my stuff on ebay normally, i work in america a lot and buy while i'm here (working in america now), shipping within america is very expensive, i was lucky with this engine, i am working 175 miles from it so they delivered to me free, then the company i'm working for had an empty truck going back to base 800 miles away, so engine went there for free, the engine cost me $6000, not bad for a 0 mile new engine, with 450hp, if you want stuff from america let me know, often got crates or 40ft containers coming to the uk with stuff in that i then sell
