There are plenty; RMB, Mountune, Livernois, etc. Not hard to find, and they hold stay together just fine. They’re fully forged short blocks. Not sure why are you so skeptical.
It was simply an example. EcoBoost swaps are everywhere, just google it.
Are you kidding lol? There is huge aftermarket support for EcoBoost platforms, many in addition to the companies mentioned above. There’s constant discussions on here about mods; turbos, manifolds, HPFPs, etc.
Ok. And?
417lbs is straight from the OEM, Ford.
Here is the video. He discusses the issue with swapping such a new engine.
I personally think this could be a good swap for a lot of trucks once things get ironed out.
Been noticing that they are having some lifter issues, but Revan Evan and Brian Wolf? Have found some lifters that run in hemi, LS, and 7.3 that are good to go.For my needs, I have no desire for the 3.5. It does its job in G2-3, but I don't want one.
1. It is easier to swap a 7.3 into a G1 as the Copperhead ECU in my truck that can be tricked to run the single cam 7.3
2. I don't want turbos when I am down in Baja running crap Pemex fuel.
3. A simple cam swap and the 7.3 is 600hp/600tq on pump gas. Even dumbed down to run Pemex its making more than 500. Perfect for running silt beds and sustained load/heat situations.
4. its lighter than the 6.2 it replaces so that's a win in a G1
5. Its a bad **** V8...
I think the lifter issues are isolated to the extended idling on commercial vehicles and the variable oil pump running too low of pressure in that scenario.Been noticing that they are having some lifter issues, but Revan Evan and Brian Wolf?

Good point, as most of the videos I saw revelry were commercial vehicles. Wonder if it is related to the variable displacement oil pump?I think the lifter issues are isolated to the extended idling on commercial vehicles and the variable oil pump running too low of pressure in that scenario.
Its only a handful of issues. Manton, Crower, Jessel all make a replacement
The variable displacement oil pump doesn’t run lower than normal oil pressure at idle. The variability is to allow for higher pressures at under high load, low RPM conditions.Good point, as most of the videos I saw revelry were commercial vehicles.
