Hey everyone, been looking to get into a F-150 RCSB with the 5.0 for a while, and given the price that they've been going for, I've decided to find an 2020 F-150 (4x4) without the V8 for much cheaper and swap in the 5.0 and 10 speed. Going to get the engine from Ford so it will have warranty, and know a good shop that will do a great job putting it in, but am wanting to look into some parts in terms of trans/drivetrain to perhaps reinforce a little. Have been thinking about upgrading clutch and possibly doing some differential work, but wanted to get some thoughts and input!

 

Good Luck!!!

And be sure to keep us posted with detailed updates and pictures of your progress.

 

How are you gonna run it? You'll need proper ECU/TCU for the 5.0 and 10speed. Will the non-5.0 harness work with the 5.0 motor/trans or do you have to do some harness changes? I'd make sure whatever Gen (1-4) 5.0/10R80 you get will work with the existing harness or that could be a bugger to address.
