Then why are you asking about an engine swap? Selling it and buying another one makes a lot more sense.

You'll also be depriving your non-paid off truck from being used for X amount of days for a project that few have done, if at all. You have no idea how much time and money would have to be poured into this.

All so you can say you have "the raptor's engine!" in the end....and hope you aren't dealing with CEL codes and whatever else on a regularly basis.



Ecoboosts are even easier to find/trade into and it will be far from gutless.

My "retarded" sounding Ecoboost can run circles around my old 2007 4.6L POS. The 07 was tuned and still gutless.
