I’m in the US, we have the regular raptors and large trucks in general. People have done v8 swaps on them and it’s been cool, but it’s just been putting a truck 5.0 in another truck which is cool but not the most original thing. This swap is honestly one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a while. Y’all’s ranger raptors are a lot lighter and paired that with the mustangs 5.0 is heavenly. The mustang is so at home there, a faster reving better sounding 5.0 in my opinion because of the compression ratios and cams. This whole package is badass and we need something stateside like this as it would 100% kill everything on the street and dirt.
I think a major factor of why FORD didn't pursue the 5.0 as an optional engine package is twofold, one they are still trying to meet CAFE standards in the USA, secondly, they want to push the eco-boost as the only option for both power and performance. Nothing replaces a naturally aspirated engine, the Eco boost is great, until you start to have turbo problems. I'll take the 5.0 in a heartbeat. @4x4 Australia, you should see if you can fit a 5.0 in the new BRONCO.
What a Badass build ! Congratulations! Just recently drove a Ranger Tremor edition, I can only imagine it with the Coyote V8 ! Unfortunately we don't get the Ranger Raptor in the USA, Tremor edition is as close as we get to get to one ! Love to drive it one day when I visit Australia!
@@damonholmes9299 and how did that idea turn out for them.. it failed no one bought them.. same thing will happen here conversion price is way too high..
@@tankp8833 Exactly, while there is definitely a market for something like this, not many people want to buy one thats not factory v8 and has no warranty, especially not for the price. If these came with coyote v8's from ford, and where cheaper (which ford could definitely do with mass production) they would sell like hot cakes.
I'm fortunate to own 2 Rangers px1 px2,my px2 I brought from Australia,i rebuilt then crashed of the side into some bush in a kiwi sanctuary and now im in the process of rebuilding, place called kalannie is where i purchased the truck from,and my px1 from ultimate ford Here in New zealand, my px1 has a stage 3 highflow turbo,on stock ecu,with a reflash, ARP headstuds with Crow cams,with bigger injectors, With stock internals we got the old 3.2 upto 580hp with the right tune and a bit more money put into her we could have gotten up to around 650 mark plus, I changed out the maf sensor and charge pipe to stainless steel with a blow through maf, and made gains in the little areas,that I thought were detrimental, and cost wise, was more efficient an less expensive,but done right with the right research you will make that little engine roar,for me i was after more torque and some high end power for 4x4 and for me thay combo works,I will start my own channel and upload some shorts and vidz of my own builds Ford should have done this from the start, I can understand why they didn't,production purposes I believe,as like you it would have taken 2years for the research alone to match engine with truck, timing perfection,dedication,and patience,all will come together, as with me and what I'm dealing with on a lower scale
@@Kurumaro1 aint saying its truck, I'm saying Ford is selling cars with V8 in Europe, what does stop them to sell trucs with V8? obv. we dont need f150 here as its huge, but ranger with v8? sure
@@KillaKustomKables are you planning to move to Europe with this, both raptor and and V8 mustang are road legal in EU so there shouldn't be a problem with regulations since you don't cut or weld anything but use factory made car.
There is no point in buying a ranger where i live, back in the day the ranger was an affordable option for those who couldn't justify the big price tag on an f150, but now atleast here on the east coast of canada a ranger and a f150 are not that far apart price wise and a fully optioned ranger is actually more than the first 2 f150 trim levels
@@Steven_Rowe Give me a break just because you have money doesn't mean you don't wanna know what's something costs. Rich people are rich for a reason there not a horses ass just buying without knowing the cost.
guy at scottsdale cars n coffee has a new 7.3L TT powered 2022 Ford Raptor lol, guys building a 5.2L for his coming new redesigned ranger haha...jesus. he used to work at ferrari, ford, and aston martin! pretty cool yall are doing this kinda stuff!
Of course it would have been nice if it came with a v8 but her in Norway the fule prices are quite high so I'm glad it's a two litre diesel engine so that I can afford to use it and I'm actually really fallen in love with this engine
The engineers over at Ford should have been sacked for the poxy little motor they put in the raptor. Looks like you guys may have improved this car by 1000% 👌 Build it right and the people will come
@@1FiftyOverland he didn't say they weren't great. There's a difference between lame and great. Something can be lame and work great...little bit of critical thinking goes a long way.
I'm a huge bmw fanboy and I have an extreme bias towards euro cars but the coyote is just an incredible motor. Any time I see "coyote swap," I instantly click.
Should've let the works you've done speak. Show us how it preforms and sounds . Why is it or is it better than the stock RangerRaptor ? What's the advantages? The options. Etc etc. Just trying to help not hating at all. I'm very very happy you all are doing this tho. I'm a Ford Lover Fan Representative Die Hard Blue oval Snake Driving even my last name is Ford from Tennessee but I love straya and can't wait to visit. Love the culture and the work. Keep it up. Good stuff my guy
The only thing better than this is reading the comments 😂 if you have to ask how much it's not for you worried about reliability or warranty it's definitely not for you if you've got cash to burn and want something that makes heads turn this is it great job 👍
Would you be able to do this in a Ford Wildtrak as well? I've recently bought a 2019 Wildtrak that I love, but I can't help but think about how badass it would be with a V8 Coyote in it haha.
While this is an absolutely amazing build, he said there is only a spacer in the front rather than a stiffer rate spring setup to compensate for the now heavier front end. I think this may hold the truck back through rough stuff/jumps as illustrated by a few jumps in the video. Front blows right through its main stroke while the rear seems settled. Just a future thought! Great truck and great video 👍
