You ordered the entire transmission from Ford for $2000? How did you swing that deal?

Time to get busy. This is where things currently sit:
Front suspension and driveline are up next. That will kick off my 3-day thrash starting Thursday. I’m optimistically hoping to get the truck running by EOD Saturday.
Rear susp needs a brake bleed and finish off the rear exhaust (maybe borla rear section). Not yet sure if the 37” tire will fit under the bed on the Gen 3 frame or not
I had these AMS downpipes ordered months ago and was planning to use, but don’t want to deal with leaks so spd will go on
This motor only has ML3Z phasers + our Formline turbokit and good spark plugs installed. It’s a good representation of what our average 17-18 raptor customer is running and I’m mildly interested to find out where the engine fails.
Despite being an ‘engine guy’ with a leaking valve cover and plastic oil pan, plastic timing chain guides, worn tensioners, questionable lifters etc… and the cab is off… I decided to address only the crank pulley for now. This has taken great restraint. Instead of wasting time now, I will start my motor and trans build as soon as the truck is running.

MSRP is $2300: https://parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/t...21-35l-(performance-ssv-at)-p-rl3z7000h?pdp=y
And if you search the part number it is generally selling it for $1930

Nice! Will that bolt right into a 2017 Raptor without all of the other stuff you’re doing?
The part number on that website for a 2017 transmission is different (below) and is nearly $5000.

You might give the AMS downpipes a try. My SPD has been difficult to deal with. Not slamming on their product, maybe it’s just a fluke?
Also, GREAT progress man! Keep up the good work!!!!
