Just Curious if there is anything new going on in the Godzilla swap world.
After months and months of crickets and no action, I got my deposit back on my Godzilla Ranger Raptor build. Still interested in getting it done. Not crazy about being the first and was really hoping for more of the AMW...
I thought that same thing the entire time I had my 2 dr Bronco. I wish it was on the longer wheel base with more cargo area and still just the 2 larger doors.
The smaller front doors on the 4 door were somewhat of a deal beaker for me, which was one of the main reasons I bought the 2 door...
LOL
If V8 swapping pretty much anything, I doubt fuel milage is ever going to be an issue.
The cost alone of the V8 swap would buy the fuel for life of that vehichle. LOL
Honestly.
I am not 100% sure fuel mileage won't improve or at least be pretty similar.
Not ever seen great fuel milage...
I was thinking there was some sort of adapter required to use that 10R80 transmission behind the Godzilla.
I am still just learning about what all I am in for when getting this project done.
Since the power was not that far off, I was just sort of wondering why not adapt to the transmission...
That is awesome info.
Thanks a lot for all that info.
Very interesting stuff.
I was thinking I saw or read that one of or someone's Bronco Godzilla swap had used not only the electronic shifter from the Ranger Raptor but also the T-case.
Least I thought that was what they said. That I...
Awesome.
For me street / daily driving and light trails around my property is about all there will be for offroad. When I say light trails, its more like gravel roads creek beds and speeds more in the 5-15 mph.
It is my understanding that I am only affecting the weight by around 130 lbs...
Thanks !
Thats right along the lines of my understanding as well.
Been a pretty confusing process so far, However, I think after speaking with Jeff again yesterday . We might finally be on track to getting things moving and hopefully will be starting the swap within the next 30-45 days.
For...
Seems Juicy Motorsports parted ways with Stamperbuilt and there is now a facility in Michigan maybe be doing my swap Godzilla swap assuming I stick with Juicy Motorsports.
Was wondering if anyone had heard anything good or bad about Juicy affiliated Detroit facility?
Sounded like the shop has...
Thanks !
All Very interesting.
I had noticed the Juicy website showed they were in GA, but saw a few bits of info and was told they were in Texas. Been a bit challenging figuring out who is doing what when and where.
Any idea why Juicy is moving to Utah. I sort of hope I don’t have to ship my...
Well I have learned a bit more after visiting with Stanghi last week.
Seems there is 4 companies coming together to make these builds happen.
Now I am still trying to figure out who does exactly what ?
Stanghi I know is in charge of Tuning.
I believe either Stamperbuilt or Juicy is doing the...
Yes, I would love to see them on a SAS wheel.
I run the SAS wheels on my Ranger Raptors, and was really curios what it looks like on the Bronco wheel with a tire mounted etc. .
Yea, they are pricy , Ford wants 1025 for them.
‘I was thinking I could use a discount code maybe get them down around...
Yea, those are the true beadlocks on yours which that’s different than this kit I am looking at.
‘The kit is just a slightly different look, and supposedly a grey color.
Here the description on the ford website.
Bronco Beadlock Trim Rings provide an easy way to customize your Bronco by adding...
I spotted this kit for grey beadlock rings. Simulated kind.
‘It’s a ford kit. Can’t seem to find any pics of these on a Bronco .
If you have this kit on your Bronco , could you please share some pics,
‘Really hard to picture based on the Ford website pics.
Bronco Beadlock Trim Ring Kit - Gray...
I am curious if they are trying to kill off the 2dr.
I had the 2.7L in my 2023 2dr Bronco .
Would not have even considered a 2.3.
It was not exactly overpowered with the 2.7L not bad but nothing crazy when optioned with the SAS pkg.
Fantastic thread!
‘I switched from Bronco to Ranger Raptor almost 2 years ago.
I am told this Godzilla swap is going to also be offered for the Ranger Raptor.
‘I contacted Juicy yesterday, I think I am 3rd in line for the swap.
‘Not exactly sure what all is included as far as how they get to...
