The link is from Maxlider's Instagram account.

Sadly, it's the only decent link I could find at the moment. (There may be others, but my search-fu is weak in the early morning hours.)

They've teamed up to offer 7.3L swaps for the Bronco, Bronco Raptor and F150 Raptor. (I think it's for the regular F150 also.)

There's nothing confirmed, but someone asked 'how about a Ranger Raptor swap' and the reply was a winking emoji -->😉.

Pretty sure that's hinting at they're working on one.

Maxlider stuff isn't cheap, so I'm betting the swap from them won't be cheap, but it does mean that there are options opening up for those that
would prefer a V-8 over the T-T 3.0L V-6.

~$10k for the crate engine, probably about $15k for labor if i had to hazard a guess. yikes.

about 175lbs heavier, too 👀

would be cool, but dang...

I just saw this video this morning about the Godzilla Bronco.

Very much perked my interest. 😋😍😍😍😍

I imitatively was curious if they could swap a Godzilla into a Ranger Raptor.



I want a Godzilla powered Ranger Raptor.
‘Where do I sign.

I went ahead and emailed Juicy Motorsports this morning trying to find out more info.
I really want a Godzilla powered Ranger Raptor.

That would be awesome if it could be done for only $25k.

The Jeep guys have been getting this sort of engine swaps done by AMW for years now.
Been hoping someday a company like AMW would start doing these swaps for Ford trucks.

The cheapest Gladiator NA 5.7 Hemi swap is over $30k.
If $25k would cover it , that would be a pretty reasonable by comparison to these Hemi Jeep conversions.

‘This what the Gladiator owners have shoved under there hoods.

I'm betting it won't be any cheaper than the Jeep ones, maybe more 🤣

Very cool though.

In the comment section of the video it was mentioned a couple different times that pricing was nit set yet for the Bronco , but most were thinking 50k.

I hope or would think if AMW can do NA Hemi swaps for $40k for the 392 swaps or as low as 30k for the NA 5.7 that surely a NA Godzilla would be at least similar to those .

Makes a lot sense after watching that video as to why the Godzilla is a better fit and easier conversion then a coyote v8.

Sadly, the details are still limited, but they have all the V-8 swapped Broncos and F-150s at Barrett-Jackson until Sunday.

Information should be slowly coming out after that. Below is the copy & paste of what made me start the thread. (I removed the name of the person who asked)



PLEASE. Make a kit to either Godzilla or coyote swap a ranger raptor

I'm pretty sure this means it's coming.

It may be too rich for my blood (if going thru Maxlider), but if i could find a way to swing it (if Juicy Motorsports does it for cheaper), I'd be all in for a 7.3L in mine, even if it means taking a small loan out.

Wow, that’s awesome.

Great video!

Maxlider responded to my inquiry by text this morning, no timeline for an RR package yet, but they are going to keep me posted.

Still sounds like one is in the works, and supposed to get some sort of update on it in few weeks.

My ideal or dream build would essentially be the Normal aspirated Godzilla under the hood, then I would mirror my other two RRs in appearance , with P285/70R17 AT4W Falken tires on +30 offset Bronco SAS wheels, I would probably go for one of those larger 35 gallon fuel tanks to feed the beast.

Probably do some exhaust work to make sure it sounds really good.

The rest of the truck I would want it all working 100% correct no lights, all features functional, only exception being no start stop crap.

Maybe some subtle badges indicating what’s under the hood.
Probably something like these would do the trick.

It will look like one of these when it’s done.
