 I had to go pick up a new F350 for work. It is a SRW, regular cab, LWB, 373 posi, and 7.3L Godzilla gas engine. It is the basic XL with the optional 7.3L and uplifter switches. Work is going to pull the bed off and put a service body on it. This thing is quick as it is rated 430hp/475tq. From what the Ford guy told me the engine is about 5 inches narrower than the 5.o Coyote engine and a F350 is $1K to $3K cheaper than a F250.

It has been a long time since I have been interested in something new. The window sticker was right at $39k.

 SEMA 2022 will be amazing with the new Broncos. 

I hope someone coyote swaps one... That'll be the one I cannot wait to see. :-) 

Sounds like a cool work truck!

 Whipple and Procharger have under hood (F250/F350) bolt on kits that pump it up to 700HP. Imagine trying to plant that much power to the ground in a Ranger.

 Your right. I have spent the evening pricing different variations of F250 and F350 builds with a 7.3 Godzilla. Right now my favorite is a FX2 XL F350 extended cab with add on uplifter switches, fog lights, and the black step rail. At $44k  that is hard to swallow. I would have to put it to work to help pay for it.

 The 7.3L Godzilla is cast iron so it would add a lot of weight to a newer mustang. There are a couple 7.3L mustangs swaps on youtube (Foxzilla). I believe there is also an aluminum version in the works for the 2021 mustang...

Power source switches for adding accessories that need 12 volts.
