[Got Raptor]

I live where the blacktop ends, WAYYYYYYYYY up North, in Thompson Manitoba Canada. Guess where Ford does their winter testing? Yep, you guessed it. I got wind at the mine where I work that there was an Molten orange Raptor in town, so I went hunting, and caught up with a blue one at the local BP's. I got to look under the hood, and when I told the guy I ordered one, he said this is pretty much what you can expect. "6.2L Boss" on the intake, and finned "Powered by Ford" cam covers. They ABUSE these things up here, you think Baja is tough? Drop the temp to -40F and let the thrashing begin! They also had the 5.0 Coyote in a mustang up here doing the same, and a different 5.0 for the half tons. They said the 6.2 is a torque monster, pulls hard, and doesn't stop pulling. I got pics of the 6.2L, including pics of the "prototype engine" sticker and got to hear him put his foot into it as they left and damn near made a mess of myself. It sounds like a throatier 5.4. I still would like to see a true dual high flow CAT S.S. system for this rig. I want mine even more now!!

Crazy...

Shoulda given a lengthy survey on the 6.2 questions all over the board ! Put some of the bickering to rest haha

Same that i hear, TONS of low end grunt. I hear that it can be a rock crawler or a high speed demon.

I agree. Without pics, it didn't happen. I can only imagine how this engine sounds tho.

Cut him a break

Come on guys give him a break he already said he nearly shit himself when the guy stood on it upon departure.

Alright I get it, I thought you guys have seen pics like these before, but here you go.

Prototype sticker picture:

Drivers side engine:

Note the valvecovers and it takes 5W20 oil:

Note the 6.2L BOSS air box and the little ball clip thingy that looks like that engine cover might snap on to.

Here's the truck:

 

[some guy]

Looks like a bezel attaches here like QualityDayDream's picture.

You guys are pathetic. I believed him way before the pics went up. The man is from Thompson Manitoba Canada - people don't even know how to lie there. I heard once a guy from Thompson did lie accidentally and his nose grew 3" and then fell off completely from frostbite.

For crying out loud the guy probably didn't even know he crapped himself until an hour after he got home and his pants had time to thaw!

And good eye on those attachment points! :smileup:

Nice pics. Love my 5.4 but thumbs up to the future 6.2 Raptor owners...

Never doubted you. That truck looks to have been tested hard. Very nice and very hopeful for the quality of the truck. Also has some headlight condensation.
