I can't imagine it having enough room.

Voodoo in C7 Grand sport.

Lol.

The coyote and aluminator has been swapped into all those chassis. The voodoo would fit no problem.

A voodoo in a raptor would not be a good match. The torque isn't there. Trust me. Trucks need low end torque. Not high RPM.

The Voodoo isn't that far behind the 470ft lb tq they're predicting the tiny V6 is going to put out to begin with. Throw a tune on it and there ya go there's more than you obviously need since Ford decided to put a baby motor in what is supposed to be a beastly truck... I think you're in love with that V6 to be honest. If the GT500 was announced to have this amazing 3.5L TT V6 I bet you'd cream your pants. I'll keep my damn near 1300 ft lb tq in my F250 either way. I just bought my brother in law a 2016 F150 platinum with the 3.5 and yes it is a decent motor and moves that truck pretty good in sport mode. Like I said before though in MY opinion it doesn't belong in a Raptor. I've owned 3 Raptors and will probably never buy another so really I could care less. I moved up to a big boy truck...

Oh and I'd rock an LS swapped Raptor over a V6 Raptor any day!

The biggest difference is how the 3.5l produces torque, it does it very early and being turbocharged it holds that torque over a broad range.. while the 5.2l does a decent job of spreading its power out, it doesn't make copious amounts of torque and much like a two stroke it brings its torque on higher in the rpms along with the hp curve and holds it across a good rpm range. By comparison the first generation 3.5l ecoboost (the raptor will be all new gen 2 with unique turbos and manifold) makes it tq peak at 2500rpm, about 2k rpm before the 6.2l does and it holds that torque literally across the entire rev range. The gen 2 will be better, I'd actually imagine the torque to be closer to 500lb ft, which will be significantly stronger than the 6.2l tuned or otherwise.

I bought a 6.2l raptor new in 2010 as soon as the engine became available, I received the truck in August and promptly sold it the following February, the only thing I was impressed with was the sound and how fast it could consume fuel to make that sound.. the power wasn't all that impressive to me and felt soft most all of the time.

I guess I like engines to earn there keep by performance and the job they do in the platform they are in, not just saying "it doesn't belong" because its a tiny v6.. Rest assured the tiny v6 will yank the nuts out from underneath the 6.2l raptors. It'll make better power everywhere and get better mileage when that power isn't needed that's a fact.


As far as the original question of this post, I have to say the car i'd like most to have a 5.2l in would be a superformance GT40-R. With a custom intake a nice pair of titanium headers made by unobtanium welding into a pair of burns mufflers and tuned on e85... perhaps a few internal mods to get the power closer to 600whp.. 600whp in 2400-2600lbs should be plenty and make some nice noise to boot.

First of all it's no secret you and I have different views. Second I am not in love with the 3.5 ecoboost. You are already judging a new engine in a new truck that you haven't even driven yet and you are one of the rednecks still stuck in the old " bigger is better mentality"
I have a gt350 and I have done mods to my gt350 that you have not done. I have long tube headers and a tune and I'm making over 520+ to the rear wheel. I love the voodoo! Probably more then you do, but the torque doesn't come on until 3500+ rpm. Not a ideal rpm for a truck. You just stated you love the "damn near 1300ft lbs" in your f250. That torque in your diesel is at a lower rpm then the voodoos! Just like the 3.5 and 2.7 ecoboost it also makes low end torque. My question to you is if you like the v8 so much better why did you buy your brother in law a ecoboost and not the 5.0?

Maybe it was more expensive? lol

The 3.5 is a more expensive option over the 5.0

 

[lemers]

Maybe in a mid engine setup

That's what I was getting at...

I like pushing your bottons He wanted a 5.0 but the Platinums we could find all had the V6 Ecoboost and I explained to him that it's a better engine choice for that truck. He wanted the V8 for the sound but he's happy with the Ecoboost now. He came out of an '11 Ecoboost that was a problem child like most of those 1st gen Ecos are so it kinda left a bad taste in his mouth. Yes you've done mods to your Voodoo that I haven't and honestly probably never will. As tempting as it will be unlike my F250 I don't want to kill the warranty on the 350 just like I won't on the Grand Sport. I'll do little things here and there but they'll mostly be visual upgrades. Not a Redneck though I just get a woody when I see a giant F250 and love the sound of a deleted diesel :cheers: I don't tow with it and honestly don't need a diesel I just wanted it :shrug: Just like I'm sure a chub will follow every spirited drive when the Voodoo arrives. I haven't had the pleasure of hearing one yet aside from an old fella babying one from a stoplight... I can only imagine that all the Youtube videos in the world don't do this cars exhaust symphony any justice.

For the OP I'd love a Restomod Bronco with a Voodoo in it... They've put Coyotes in them already so why not step it up!

I guess putting it in an Adult Go-Kart makes sense.
