GEN 2 Velociraptor V8

I just figured out that this has to be an original ecoboost raptor that they modified. You can't build a scab with the 5.5ft bed unless it's a raptor.
Kudos to Hennessy for making it work.

Thank you. Yes, this is a real 2018 Raptor and we removed the V6 and installed a new 5.0 V8 along with 10speed transmission, wiring harnesses, ECU and a lot of work on programming.

Anybody can take a 5.0 F150 and put a Raptor body kit on it. We chose the more challenging option and are very happy with how it turned out. We will post more videos soon. Thanks.

Not to question the details, but why would you need to replace the 10 speed gearbox when the 2019 comes with it. Seems like it would be just a power plant swap with a full remap. Also I would like to know what did you guys do with the cooling system since the difference in the V8 vs V6 differs.

Could you guys post any pics of the interior. Curious as to which package you went with and the changes you guys made.

Curious which package you went with.

obviously an 802

You sure about that, don't be too quick to judge. I can say that the lift they have is a stock 4" Fabtech nothing more. Same exact components I started with on mine until we swapped over 90% of it out with better quality and stronger parts.

I can't lie though even if it is a F150 conversion it is badass. There are just a lot of additional parts I would be upgrading. Never know I may have them do a swap out of mine one day. I won't knock Hennessey since I have seen a few of their other builds and like them. I know a lot of people have had issues with them in the past, however I know what I see locally and can say they do turn out decent work. Just wish he would turn loose on the new GT he picked up. I may be in the market for it.
