I think this qualifies as "garage built"...

I put this together myself as a daily driver to get better than 30 mpg. Same paint I bought it with but everything else is upgraded.

Would love to learn more about that powertrain! Wicked interesting and very nice car! That is an awesome example of how to go green!

Thanks. I got the engine, transmission, wiring harness and ECM from a 2013 Camaro with only 525 miles on it. It’s rated 325 HP and is all aluminum so pretty light. The Camaro was rated for almost 30 mpg on the freeway so I thought if I stayed light I could maybe get 35. I came in a 3,260 lbs with a full tank but so far I’m averaging 28-32 mpg. I did get do one all out max mpg run, driving like there was an egg on the throttle pedal, coasting, etc and got just under 40 but it wasn’t fun
I’ve got full Hotchkis suspension front and rear, Wilwood discs on all 4 corners and a 12.1 steering box so it drives fantastic.

Wow, is this car awesome !!!

I was just going to ask about the motor but someone else beat me to it. Very cool indeed and I love that it is a v6 and that you drive and it sounds like you drive it a lot.

I do drive it a lot. Everyday usually. It’s currently apart as I’m chasing an annoying rattle in the dash but that shouldn’t take long.

I’m also going to swap to a 9” Ford rearend with posi. I took it to the Wednesday Night Drags near me and it was traction plagued to the point of embarrassment.

Plus, dam Tesla’s are quick. There were a number of them there running low 10s.

That is awesome and I hope to the same if I ever finish mine.

Holy Cow, Low 10's in a Tesla. I didn't know they were that fast.

Fast and dead silent. It’s uncanny. All wheel drive so no spin. They also seem to be very consistent so perfect for breakout racing

My build in progress... Daily driven, so it is difficult to get things done in a quick fashion.

If you are referring to my car, I never made a thread about it since the level of build is nowhere near what is seen on these forums. My car is the Kia of these guys Camaros. Hahaha

WSSix 05-11-2022 03:05 PM

So? We want pics, lol. Seriously, this isn't an elitist place. We love seeing builds of all calibers. Please, post some details. The car looks great.

Good luck with it.

Haha. Ok. I will make a thread this weekend for my car. Thank you for the compliment on it

1966 F100 Raptor swap
 
3 Attachment(s)
One of my longtime hobby builds. Have owned going on 23 yrs but a couple years back decided on more power (previous engine was a 482 FE)

I happened upon a 2020 Ford Raptor Crate engine (one of only 5 sold) then swapped it into this truck along with a 10 spd auto.
ALL work including body and paint and building my own custom wiring harness done in my backyard.

I can run on 91 or E50 fuel. 20 mpg on E50 and 25 mpg on 91.
Built as a long distance cruiser I can go 1000 miles on single fill.

100% emissions compliant like a new F150.

It puts down 603hp and 658tq to tire even thought he engine management software was closing throttle. Who knows where power would have went? That was on base tune also.

ADY 07-29-2022 01:41 PM

Awesome finished product. Wish I got anywhere close to 25mpg on my 2018 Raptor, guess dropping the weight of a supercrew cab, 4x4, extra suspension, 35in tires, etc. makes a huge difference.
