I agree. Don’t discourage. I tried to order Full Race’s oil catch can and Freak-O-Beast intercooler kit, and they told me it wouldn’t fit my 2016 EL. Oh, was also told my F-150 OEM take-off wheels wouldn’t work either… Boy, we’re they wrong… When there’s a will, there’s a way.The ones who say "it can't.....", or "it won't.......", need to sit back, zip lips, and let those who can and will, do it.
It will fit, bolt up to the existing trans. Will need mounts, possibly. Probably going to need a standalone and trans controller. How that will integrate to the body harness I don't know, but I'm sure it's not insurmountable, just $. I too am interested in this. I'm actually pretty intrigued and if I had the funds for the crate motor, it'd be happening. There's also a feller here wanting to put a 6.2 in his Expy. The electronics again are going to be the big obstacle to get past.
The mechanical stuff is out there. 6.2 were in 1/2T trucks, so there's mounts and the like available. The 7.3 might be different, then again, the mount bosses on the block might be the same as the 5.4, I'm not sure. I haven't found any info that confirms/disproves this. Of course mounts aren't nearly a thing if you know of a fab shop or race car builder. They could likely whip some up in short order assuming they add access to measurements and whatnot..
I’ve pulled 11.7k with my expy while it was stock and it didn’t have a ton of power going up hills, I’m getting new suspension all around while the cars getting it’s swap. Going bilstein all around with new springs and a 3/2 readylift. I know it’s nothing fancy but should be nicer on the towing when all is said and done. I don’t find myself towing to often so it will be more for puttering the kids around to school and enjoying a bit more power when I get some daddy time alone in her.Sounds like it is going to be incredible for power, but not sure about the towing machine part. The existing engine could handle the max weight of the trailer for this suspension. Can't really add weight capacity and big trailers are already close to hairy in decent winds.
Will be one of the coolest trucks here though.
5 Star got over 500 lb ft crank on tune only. I think most tunes put it over 500 lb ft.I’ll be getting a 10speed trans next year when the 3.0L Whipple charger is available. Very excited. As it sits now I’m gonna be pushing hopefully close to 450-460hp and 480ft lbs of torque after the performance cold air intake and tune are done. 700+ with the Whipple. Going to be one mean towing machine.
