He built mine too!He built my engine (not the one mentioned in the post).
The mention in the article of possibly moving to work on the 7.3L might be something to watch for. With the recent trademark filing for Megazilla, maybe there will be an S650 GT500 (or some similar performance model with a new name?) where the Niche Line skills will be needed for the 7.3L. In any event, cool posting and the end of a pretty awesome era.I found another article, but no word about where, or if niche production will continue anywhere else.

It’s the same engine except for the pulley and the tune. Inquiring minds want to know….Is the Raptor R engine built on the same line? or have they already built all the Raptor R engines?
I had watched a video where they said there were a lot of changes. But that could just be marketing. I know they are using cast manifolds also.It’s the same engine except for the pulley and the tune. Inquiring minds want to know….

There isn't very much info out there on it yet, but I found this on the Ford Performance site.I had watched a video where they said there were a lot of changes. But that could just be marketing. I know they are using cast manifolds also.
Thanks. Very good info.There isn't very much info out there on it yet, but I found this on the Ford Performance site.
Also found this small article put out recently on it.

Only thing I can find is that it's a 74.5 mm pulley versus the 80 mm on the GT500, which gives it a 7,000 rpm redline versus 7,500.Thanks. Very good info.
As expected, few changes from the Predator. Doesn’t hint as to assembly plant though.
Wonder what the part number is for that SC pulley….
