I have a 22 Timberline too. There's only 1 more available on Ebay, so I'm about to hop on it if you have a 22 Timberline as well

The Raptor engine covers are readily available from any Ford dealer. Part number (from my receipt) posted in an earlier post.

Yes, my timberline 22. I live in Canada so I bought from eBay Canada. If you live in US, you can check on eBay.com
Please make sure it’s for

21 thru 22 F-150 OEM Ford RAPTOR 3.5L Ecoboost Ford Performance Engine Cover.​

Or you could simply walk into your nearest Ford dealer, in Canada or US, and just buy it.

Jury still out whether or not this is a straight swap?

I'd like to pick one up

My engine bay.
From the looks of it the cover wouldn't work based on information provided in this thread.

That would be an affirmative to it not fitting. Your engine has exactly the same bracket and EGR sensor mine does. The cover lays right over the top of that sensor - and as a result will not lay down onto the intake. You cannot get the sides to fit down onto the studs - which by the way are still there (visible in the pics).

This looks like an opportunity for some enterprising 3rd party product.

Fits on my 2020 Limited Max perfect.

You have a different engine then timberline and SPP

 

[Expy Gator]

It fit perfectly:
The only thing I had to do was sort through my nuts and bolts to find 2 nuts and washers to fit.

Did you happen to take a photo (or 2) of the engine before putting the cover on? Curious to compare it to my SPP engine.

There have been 4 pictures in this thread of engine covers. There are two distinctly different versions of that cover. One of them says Raptor on the front top and is shaped differently - the front is molded longer, perhaps to stretch over that bulging device mounted on the top front?

The other version says "Ecoboost" on the top front, and is accompanied by comments that it does not fit. Look at how much more space there is in front of the mounting holes on the Raptor version to get a view of the difference.

Can someone who has the Ecoboost version confirm that they in fact bought the same part number as the Raptor version? Is Ford selling them indiscriminately?

I think you're on to something. Closer look at my SPP engine bay pic vs the one with the cover above, betcha that's the one that works!

So checking the notes above, both dhenderz and Expy Gator are reporting ordering almost the same part number. The first character is different - MR7Z-6A949-A will fit according to Expy Gator and say Raptor on the top. KR7Z-6A949-A will not fit per dhenderz.

yes I did - you can see it does have the large protruding bracket on the drivers side of the engine. With this engine you need the '21-'22 version of the engine cover. It fits over this bracket.

This is awesome, now we know which works, thanks!

I ordered one, 7-10 days.

 

[JohnSC]

I ordered one too. Shipped today, it will get here before my truck is built.

@Expy Gator looks awesome. Somewhere on here I read that the cover might have been left of for better heat management. Probably the wrong time of year, but have you noticed any issues?
