2023 Stealth Performance - Raptor Engine (Cover)

[Expy Gator]

@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?

Absolutely not. I'm in Florida - if I was concerned about a little foam plastic cover I would not have installed it!

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

LOL, I was wondering if I was going to be the only one to order one of these while waiting for a build.

I've read that the engine in the Stealth Performance model expy (440 hp) is the same as the F150 Raptor engine. Would the Raptor engine cover fit the Expy?

Has anyone done this.
I think it might look bad ass
And it's honest because it's the same engine!

Even if it is compatible, who is able to see this cover besides oil change express, mechanics and yourself?

Who cares about everyone else? It would make me happy to see everytime that I open the hood.
Of course if i had a friend coming over and i just happened to be checking the oil.....

I just cringe when I hear ”oil change express” or “car wash” There is a reason why I have multiple interested people when I decide to sell a vehicle. I do mods for myself and no one else. And being a wholesaler of fuel and lubricants - I’m extremely skeptical of what the “oil change express” is putting into my vehicle. Let’s just leave it at that.

It's like knowing your date is wearing nice lingerie...

I have ordered the alternate part number listed on this thread. That will be my second one. Let's see...

I am fully expecting to gain at least 10HP!!!

Little factory mods to make it look the way it should have (in one's own perspective) from Ford makes all the fun.

Plus, have to use the Fordpass rewards on something.

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.View attachment 75635


MR7Z-6A949-A 21 thru 22 F-150 OEM Ford RAPTOR 3.5L Ecoboost Ford Performance Engine Cover1

I have a '22 Timberline

Happen to know the size of the nuts?

Picked up my cover today. Will get around to this over the weekend.

 

[MattG]

From what I've researched, W520201-S450B will be the OEM to work.

 

[dhenderz]

This in the correct nut for the cover.

The cover came in this week. Now I need to wait impatiently for the engine to get here to bolt underneath it!

 

[Dvercher]

Thanks for the part numbers - ordered today with fordpass rewards.

 

[29twonine]

Just ordered one, also, should be here Saturday!

Can confirm that the engine cover with Raptor displayed (MR7Z-6A949-A 21) fits perfectly on my 2022 SPP.

I can also confirm the cover fits my 2022 SPP. Comparing this cover to the previous one I purchased reveals why this one fits. The two legs in the front that sit over the studs (and receive the two nuts) are much taller. This lifts the front of the cover higher and this allows the cover to clear the bracket attached to the throttle body.

Thanks for confirming that. I was a little concerned about posting the initial comparison but the more I looked at all the posts the more convinced I was that it was correct. Now I just have to confirm they also fit on the 2023 SPP when mine gets here.

My Jiffy Lube tech will be impressed next time I drive through for an oil change.

 

[29twonine]

Just got mine installed, fit perfect!
