Running yet? Starting on my F100 Ranger Raptor crate swap wiring next week! Getting wiring all laid out today trying to decide what features I want to keep.
Definitely gonna want a 2.3 EcoBoost in mine preferably since it will easier to work with and do maintenance. I'll be contacting y'all for the next build soon this summer.
FINALLY, thanks for the update. It's a shame you guys didnt make more content showing the process of fitting it. working through problems is the most interesting part! besides the final test drive :)
@@neubianx I dont see how, you still need to do a custom exhaust and intercooler piping. And unless you are swapping from a 2.3l ranger engine, its a waste of effort to gain maybe 60hp over a stock 4.0.
I suspect fitting a coyote in a ranger would be virtually impossible without a ton of fabrication, which kind of sucks because I might have a spare coyote 5.0 soon unless the engine shop I’m using holds there end of the bargain up. Would be nasty to have a clean setup like this truck with a V8 sound. But this truck will be a MONSTER with that EcoBoost.
Nice build but a 4 cylinder ecoboost is a much better fit and it retains a lot of the stock mounts and even the 5 speed trans as long as the donor truck has a 4 cylinder 2.3 duratec. And a 2.0 can easily be tuned up to make the power a 3.5 does reliably if you go big turbo on the 2.0L. also the 3.5 ecoboost will mate up to a trans from a 3.7L 2011-2014 mustang 6 speed manual. If you guys have issues with getting the 10 speed working.
Would it have been possible to swap the original exhaust manifolds from side to side with them now pointing more to the front then do adjustments to the factory collector to make them work?
Could have just done a body lift and that would help alot with the fitment issues. Also since doing custom manifolds why not put better/bigger turbos since the factory ones honestly suck. Its cool but small block or a stroker 2.3 EcoBoost stroker would have been alot easier and cheaper. Dont get me wrong its very cool but if i was going through all that it would have been a 4.2stroker with bigger turbos atleast. Couldn't have been that much of an issue since people have already coyote swapped and 4valve mod motor swapped that body style ranger which is a bigger engine in every aspect. But i get it the customer wants what they want. Just would have steered in a different route.
You guys probably won’t see this because i’m watching it so late but how much did it cost for you to do all this including labor and the engine price. Please let me know because I want to do this to my 1998 ford ranger I just bought.
@@FatFenderGarage I've had a Ranger build stuck in my mind for at least 20 years. I may be stuck in the 90s and still like the street truck era with 454 SAN Lightnings, Ram SSTs roaming the streets.
This is probably one of the builds I'm most excited to see finished from your shop. Love it!
What a sick build. I wish you guys could show every single detail of this job so others can do it as well.

I've been waiting for this video omg so excited
Same, I have a 05 super cab ranger as well
Can’t wait to see this thing run!
Would be amazing if you guys made a kit for this. Nice work
Crazy cool build! You guys deserve more views for doing something new and not just another LS swap!

cant wait to see it running
That’s freaking sweet. classy technical truck bamboo

mcautomatic ya, we are going to start micing people up soon for builds. More camera time.
nice work guys.... cant wait for next video
Well there goes my hopes of putting a 3.5 Ecoboost into my Bronco II.
Can't wait to see it done!
An update! Awesome.
Is that rearend a 7.5 or an 8.8?
Change the water pump gasket they have problems from factory before the motor blows
i run the Oklahoma ford ranger club and this is by far the coolest swap ive seen. joe you are going to be famous in the ranger circle.
Grate job 👍
Really like this build. Great job guys! You kick some serious butt!
More detail please. Thanks for the video.
This is the coolest thing ever period
Fuck yeah, this is the type of crazy shit I love to see!!
Heck yea
Could we have a ball park figure on what something like this would cost? I have a 2006 ranger I would love to do this to.
I'd love to know about that Ranger before the install. What lift was done, tire/wheels size and backspacing.
I've been thinking about putting a 2.7 in my ranger, seems like a lot work with just your build.
It is a ton of work. A lot more than we thought.. Will definitely be worth it in the end though 🔥
Did someone say that the 2.3 swap was an easier job?

@@red1inerr113 you can still tune the 2.3 no?
Cool build
If you had to put a price on this whole set up how much would you say it would be including labor?

Yall gonna make a direct bolt in kit for a 2011 sport 5spd
transverse mounted might be a better solution
I wanna see that 79 Bronco, whats going on with that?
We'll definitely do an update video soon
What’s the cost on this build?
Would it be easier 5.0?
Javier Marin that’s a big motor. I’d assume a 4 cylinder or a pushrod motor would be the easiest
I've seen more Ranger's with 5.0 than with 3.5 ecoboost
Javier Marin old explorers came stock with a 5.0 option ( top of the line models) and the old explorers where pretty much the same cab forward
Please post an update for this video!
This is the best we got! th-cam.com/video/jyCQSxA5fD8/w-d-xo.html
When I win the lottery im sending in my 98 ranger and my 95 f150😅
How much in total?
Would a 2.7 eco boost fit a 2000 ford ranger 4x4 ? Price on the engines are at lot less than a 3.5 and smaller might fit with out rerouting the turbos
I was just thinkin that. Did u find any info?
Would it have been possible to swap the original exhaust manifolds from side to side with them now pointing more to the front then do adjustments to the factory collector to make them work?

Wow how much did this cost !?

Have he give any price on how much something like this would cost?????
to much,
How much does something like this cost
Curious how much labor you guys have into this? How much do You estimate the swap to cost when done?
Roughly 350 hours for back suspension and swap and everything.
Is it 2wd?
How much did you charge him?
Can a 2.7l eco boost work better ?
What would be the price range to have that done?
Will the Raptor 3.5 fit easily swapping out my 2.7?
When is the next video!
86 Bronco II.. what are the chances?
Why did you go with a 3.5L vs a Focus RS 2.3 4 cylinder modified?
The customer had specific requests to use this motor. A smaller motor would have been easier.

What did the shop charge to do the swap? Did he supply drivetrain etc?
I went to your page hoping to find some parts to help out and I couldn't find anything
What were you looking for?
Do you have stock raptor exhaust that you cut down to fit the rangers size
Is this 4wd like a raptor also?
ENGINE ENGINE ENGINE!!!!!!!! Motors are electrical!
What kind of lift and tires
What’s the fuel economy
Whoever welds your aluminum needs more helmet time. What a mess
