5.0 Coyote V8 engine swap kit for Bronco 6th gen now available

[9secondko]

I think this will prove very popular.
The one thing I thst has held me back on the Bronco is the lack of a V8. Thpught a Raptor R version would be available by now.
If ever there was a vehicle that needs the option…
This may prove the better way to go. You get the v8 without spending 115k+.

Ford is better off just giving the Mustang GT off road ability. Oh wait, that’s maybe coming soon…

Still sounds geigh, though that maybe the moar door reverberation.

I'm pretty sure they swapped the 10R60 for the 10R80 in this conversion.

They’re both pretty much controlled identically. So from a programming aspect, swapping from a 60 to an 80 would probably be very easy

It is in fact the 10r80.

4bt swap would be pretty cool in my opinion.

Cummins 2.8 maybe
4bt won’t fit it’s too tall
And VERY HEAVY

10R80 extra length makes this difficult for a 2 door. More door for the win!

I’m no longer impressed.

All kidding aside, they (BadAssBroncos) aren't helping themselves by posting that latest clip. For the added expense of going through with this swap, it better sound bad ass. That clip - . The chop of the V8 is replaced by wallets closing.

so, will any version of the 5.0 fit a two door?

Sure, it comes in a mustang or with a bed

If they make it emissions compliant, I'd love to know Ford's actual reasoning for not offering it from factory.

With that said, it's cool but I still don't see the need aside from to appease my caveman V8 noise desires.

@OverBudget user name is appropriate XD

For what its worth, I have the 5.0 in my '23 F150 and it is likely the favorite engine Ive ever owned. Given that a mid level F150 weighs significantly more than a 4 door Bronco, I'm certain that it would be a blast in the Bronco platform.

Would I have spent an extra $5k when I bought my 21 for a Coyote option? YES. Would I have spent an extra $10k for a Godzilla option? More than likely, yes. Am I gonna spend $30k to upgrade to a Coyote? Absolutely not. If I'm gonna spend that kind of money, portals is a much better investment for off-roading. Is more power normally more fun? Sure, but the 2.7 already has enough power stock and I could get decent gains if I wanted to get a programmer and other after market power adders. There is no real need for a v8 in the B6G. If you want a sports car, buy a Mustang.

Now, If you wanna talk adding power and off-road ability at the same time, I cannot WAIT for an all electric version of the Bronco. It will COMPLETELY disrupt off-roading. 4-wheel independent motors, no axles or drivetrain to get hung up on, no wondering what gears to run, suspension not constrained on working with drivetrain geometries, center of gravity FULLY optimized by battery placement. It's gonna be a GIANT leap in off-roading.
