The Dakota and it's trims are currently 'scheduled' for 2028 M.Y, so if Ford plans to counter the SRT Dakota and the looming possibility of it having a V-8, they need to get their test mules built and into testing.

If a 392 Dakota SRT does happen, I will be watching that very carefully. I love my Ranger Raptor, but if it does come with 392 and it's price comes in below what the combined price of the 7.3L swap and what I paid for my Raptor, I may take the plunge. I've owned 2 V-8 Dakotas in the past, but...

I was checking the specs on these today, also. Of course the SRT Rumble bee is the one that got my attention. Sadly, it most likely wouldn't fit in my garage and more than likely it'll be tickling the $100k price range. I'll keep an eye on it, but the chances of trading the Ranger Raptor on...

I've run across occasions where the A.I. search info was mostly wrong sprinkled with an occasional correct piece of info, so I have a tendency to just do my own research when I have time. The mixed gear ratio and the rear differential as being an M220 in particular, caught my eye as incorrect...

I was going to say V-8 swap. :bandit:

I did see a thing from Juicy, last week, that they were leaving Texas but I think the Georgia shop is staying where it's at. A DiY kit would be cool and I'm pretty sure I could pull it off, BUT I don't know anyone who has the space/ shop space where I could keep the truck while it's going thru...

It is a torque monster. It's something like 670lb-ft peak at 3900 - 4k rpm range and maintains over 500lb-ft from roughly 2500rpm to roughly 6k rpm. The Megazilla option is like $20k more than the base 500hp version.

With as much as I'd like to be one of the early adopters for the Godzilla swap, I don't have the option of having a back up vehicle (outside of my motorcycle). So I'm using your build and experiences to gauge how and when I'm going to approach it. So I've bookmarked this thread and the 35...

Dropping a V-8 into my 2024 is looking pretty good right about now. :bandit:

I'm really tempted to, but I really want to know what the price will be for the Ranger Raptor conversion. Will it be the same as the Bronco or cheaper because some of the sourced parts are factory for the Ranger.

I'm single so I'm safe. 😁

With the F250 4x4 weighing about 1500lbs (depending on trim it could go up to 2000lbs+) more than our Ranger Raptors, and running 3:73 gears, I've seen reports of them getting 14 to 16 mpg unloaded. So I wouldn't be surprised at all if the 7.3L in a Ranger Raptor stayed close to the 15mpg to...

I'm going to keep an eye on this thread so I can live vicariously thru you. If I could find a way to finance it and they'd take my factory drive-train (I own a condo, so no where to stash it), I'd put my name on the waiting list asap.

I'm also a former Bronco owner (2Dr) and pop in over there now and then to check stuff out and had that thread watched early on, but hadn't checked it in a while. The whole Maxlider tease and their Instagram unveil got me interested again, but price will be the sticking point for me, so I do...

It's hard to really say, but I think the 500 HP one is the standard crate 7.3L ($9k) with some Ford Performance parts for the 7.3L installed on it. In the videos it had the same low profile intake the Megazilla does. I've also been hearing that Ford has under rated the power output of the...

Ford usually takes their sweet time in updating their Ford Performance catalogs and websites. I'm pretty sure the Megazilla is N A, but they did announce a supercharged version early last year which was 'supposed' to be available late 2025. That version was listed with 850 HP and a $34k price...

The Megazilla is N A.

A fully dressed 7.3L ( with alternator, ac compressor and other accessories) weighs just shy of 200bs more than a fully dressed 3.0L T T.

I've owned a lot of vehicles over the years and this truck has turned out to be my favorite. My father is a life long Ford guy and he likes the truck and how it looks and thinks a nice V-8 would suit it better than the T T V-6. I tend to keep my vehicles for a long time and I'm not keen on a...

I would love to do it, but the current price tag is a bit of a sticking point for me. I'm aware that the crate 7.3 & transmission combined price is in the $30k -ish price range alone, so there's a big chunk of the cost right there. I doubt Ford will ever offer a V-8 option R-like edition for...
