[QUOTE="blksn8k, post: 1029956, member: 64142"] Todd, with the 5.3L and 3V heads I don't see why there should be any electronics issues. Keeping the stock 6-speed 6R60 should not cause any issues either. As I alluded to in my original post, I am aware of the one 5.0 Coyote swap (Shrader?) but if I did a 5.3L I could keep the 6R60 and the AWD/4x4 drivetrain. Not sure I would even bother with a supercharger but at least with the Ford Racing 5.3L shortblock you could add a blower and not have to worry about whether or not the engine could handle the boost. You would also not have to fool with all the other nonsense involved with a Coyote swap. No doubt the Coyote would yield better performance but I've done enough crazy engine swaps over the years (351W/4-speed in a 72 Pinto wagon, 5.0L/T-5 in an 83 Ranger) to know they are never as easy as the guys at Gas Monkey Garage make it seem. Now if Ford offers the 2.7L EcoBoost with a 10-speed in a 2019 Ranger 4x4 crewcab this all becomes irrelevant. :grin: [/QUOTE]
