Ford Raptor to get Mustang Shelby GT500 engine in two years

Ford Raptor to get Mustang Shelby GT500 engine in two years

Last month we posted on the discovery that Ford's 7.3-liter "Godzilla" V8 designed for Super Duty pickups fits in the F-150 Raptor and Mustang. The GT500 will produce an unknown output beyond 700 hp as well, so it seems reasonable to expect a Predator-powered Raptor to pack the same ammunition. The other point in restoring V8 gumption to the Raptor would be celebrating the final year or two of the second-generation truck come 2021 or 2022.
