Bronco Busted Wide Open: Juicy Motorsports Drops a 7.3L V8 Into Raptor
Bronco Busting News – The debate is over. While Ford enthusiasts have long argued that the Bronco Raptor deserved a V8 from the factory, one bold builder has stopped waiting and made it happen. Juicy Motorsports, led by Justin Stamper, has taken the ultimate leap and shoved Ford’s massive 7.3-liter “Godzilla” V8 into a Bronco Raptor — and the results are nothing short of Bronco legend.
This isn’t just a showpiece. Backed by a custom-built 10R80 10-speed transmission that keeps OEM electronics fully functional, this monster rig behaves like something straight out of the Ford Performance division — if Ford had the guts to go all-in.
Why do it? According to Stamper, the stock EcoBoost V6 didn’t cut it. Whether crawling over rocks or flying through the desert, the twin-turbo six just didn’t deliver the grunt or grit Bronco Raptor owners crave. So Juicy Motorsports decided to fix what Ford didn’t.
The result? A tire-roasting, trail-dominating, V8-powered Bronco Raptor that sounds like thunder and moves like lightning. It handles technical terrain, high-speed runs, and towing duties with more confidence and capability than ever — and looks mean doing it.
Most impressively, this appears to be the first-ever successful Godzilla V8 swap into a Bronco Raptor. And now that it’s been done, we expect more builds like this to follow. The Bronco community has officially been put on notice: the bar has been raised.
At Bronco Busting News, we call this what it is — a Bronco Busted in all the right ways. Stay tuned for more on this rig, future swaps, and everything that pushes the limits of Bronco culture.
