Guys,

So I found a new OEM crate engine 6.2L from FORD -direct drop in. Its on a stand now ready to go into a refreshed 1G Raptor.

Since we know that the 6.2L has weak valve springs would it make sense to install updated Livernois spring kit?

Engine on stand so its an easy job.

Any advice would be appreciated.

here, on frf
you can swap the springs, but only really necessary if using power adders. oem has worked for me, other than my stupidity which caused my engine issues

I'm curious besides the the raptor documentary if I remember correctly they bored the engine and ported and polished the heads maybe.....has anyone had experience doing this with the 6.2 and running a bigger cam? Just curious if anyone has truly done some serious mods to these engines as well as the valve springs and such? What can these engines really do with bigger cams and such? Can they create a good bit of power without the supercharger or turbos?

This is the a thread on the Livernois heads and cams. Tuning is also is a major issue.

I'm calling buľľshit on you having a 6.2

Why is it sitting on a tire in a fùcking parking lot

It's not on a stand, not ready to go. it's on A ghatdahm tire with a hoist just above it you fúckin dense blind rèfuck

Only place it is ready to be installed is up your asş

Where is the 'refreshed 1G Raptor" as you call it

The valve covers should be blue

What makes sense it to stop sucking çock for 37 seconds and breathe.

Fùck off and watch your children die in a fire
