A really big shoe horn, couple long saturdays and quite a few buckets of patience!
Goal was to make it look like it belongs there using all new Raptor Parts with little to no modification to such raptor parts and no mods to the body or frame. Only real mods were the inner fender structure and a few extra holes on core support.

Engine height pretty tall and engine bay is 6+" narrower than raptor and 3+" shorter, height a bunch to get all the stock raptor airbox and intake tubing to clear the hood yet clear the steering gearbox, oil pan, steering. Few 55 gallon drums of elbow grease also used. Brain taxed beyond a reasonable amount . . But, sure beats sitting in a rocking chair!

Hey mods, would this be a better fit in another area of forum vs hiding here?

Bit longer test video. Need more break-in miles and final tune prior to longer WOT runs.

Beautiful truck bro. What's up with the tire sensor and check engine lights. Do you even have tire sensors, can't remember?

truck does have TPMS but I found when sensors are on my desk instead of next to ea wheel the light comes on! LOL

I also have working Evap system . But, I have Auxiliary 19 gallon fuel tank with 1966 vented cap. Did a full Evap system test yesterday and it’s .031 vs .025 leakdown standard. I need to get in there and change tank size from 27 to 45 and also install the valve sitting on my desk Will slowly knock things out. Only 50 mi in so far.

These sensor/valve stem too long and would hit brake calipers. Looking for shorter stems to fit ford sensors.
