5.0 swap vs building the 6.2

[Cody Templeton]

If you were shooting for big power, would it make more sense to do a 5.0 swap, or build the 6.2?

what hp figure you chasing?

I am interested in this as well, since I only have the 5.4

Going down from 378 cui. to a 302 cui. is not going to give you big power without a Whipple SC

It's the Tune calibration strategy for the PCM that will prevent you for doing this.
A few have tried, but never got it to work right. You can search the web for it.
You basically have to rip out most of the can-bus, PCM and BCM
and find a standalone PCM or a ....... ECU and a separate TCM that would work together.
A lot of stuff will not work in the truck anymore.

It would be cheaper to start with a Coyote F150 and add suspension. The 6.2 PCM/BCM can be made to run the 7.3 by tricking the PCM to see 2 cams when there is only 1 on the Godzilla.
But You cant get the PCM in the Raptor to see 4 cams on the Coyote..

Look up Broc Ross on FaceBook 7.3 Godzilla swaps. He has a "kit" with new harness etc that will get the 7.3 to run in our Gen 1.
I almost went this direction before finding the whippled 2014

It all comes down to money, so how deep is your wallet and will it be worth it in the long run!
