Newbie Picked up 1 of the 5 Raptor Crate engines for F100 Engine Swap

[1966 F100 Raptor]

To be on the safe side, you better check the oil level now! Some trucks were delivered to customers a little low. LOL.

Sounds like a cool/different project. Beats an LS swap, for originality anyway.

Do have a new in the crate LS3 sitting here but it's going in a Friends '56 BelAir. Gotta keep the Fords all Ford.

OP are you by any chance user “timewarp 1966 F100” or something similar from the Garage Journal.com forums?

Sorry if not, but I recalled a similar user with an ECO F100 that had an awesome build thread that had to be 75+ pages. It was a super popular build.

It had the SOUND with other engine but decided there is a lot more than sound. I will keep this exhaust initially but may add a couple more mufflers if need be. The last swap truck I did I kept stock exhaust and was so quiet no real sound.

I like your priorities.

I run a JDM tune and I'm very happy with it.

Yes, It's now 280+ pages and 2.6 Million views

this is the 4th EcoBoost swap into a 1966 Ford Truck. Hope it's the best too.

I recently sold my 2018 5.0 F150 and simply miss the low RPM of the EcoBoost Especially a tuned one in a truck that was 1500 lb less. The 5.0 was a **** under 3000 rpm

I think the v6 sounds better quiet. It's when they try to make it sound like a V8 that it gets obnoxious. Cool project of like to see it when completed.

Love this truck! My first truck was a 1966 F100.

I’d go with JDM for the tune also. But I’m not sure I’d tune it at all.
Coyote with a whipple would of been your best bet for power.

Good luck I want to see when done and how you like it.

Very cool build!

I can’t contribute with anything useful but I just want you to know that, that is a beautiful truck.
