State your source. Ford isn't telling anyone that a OE Gen1 engine will support 750 HP.
Yea I didn't say it would be under warranty I said it will boost power to at least 750 with supporting mods you can't run the ford racing turbos on a newer 3.5 cause of design and the fact when ford changed they also upped piston compression which why u wouldn't want to run them anyway the new 3.5 has better turbos but you can't turn them up as much cause of higher cylinder pressure from the get now for mileage and towing I can imagine the newer 3.5 gets it done better but as a hot rod stand point 1st gen is a powerhouse then afterthat it workhorse design I think I hear alot of guys like the newer 3.5 dual injection for towing. Which nothing wrong it if that's the case.
 
Let's put this way I have a 1st gen that gets pushed to around at least 750hp 130k miles total on truck. and other than normal things like brake booster pump main seal and timing chain slack needing to be replaced for the frist time. Truck is flawless Other than stated. There's dyno videos youtube with 300k plus 1st gen 3.5 eco junk yard engines pushed to around 700hp never come apart.
Dyno sheet?

The lower block crank and maybe rods from 1st gen f150 they pulled random from reg f150 perduction to build 2016 Ford GT they used very expensive x ray to cherry pick parts of corse
Once again, please state your sources for the above comments.

OK If l that's the case why does ford racing sell only for 1st gen ecoboost ford racing turbos that ford says it boost stock engine to around 750hp look I know u think ur newer F150 is better but it's not stop lieing to make u look like someone that knows but ur not.
In your previous post, nothing was mentioned about supporting mods. Hence, the reason I responded to your posts, that and the fact that the new guy was coming on the forum and calling the members liars.

750 HP on a stock Gen 1, 3.5 just isn't living (for long) in this world. I'm pretty certain Ford didn't say the FR Turbos would boost a stock engine to the level of HP. I'm not commenting on whether on not they will support that amount of HP.

As I mentioned very early in this thread. These engines are air pumps with a given displacement, spin the crankshaft fast, push a lot of air through them, they'll go fast, make them last, no problem.

With enough money, you can do amazing things with 3.5 liters whether it be a Gen 1 or a Gen 2. That would of course include a better crank, rods and pistons in the Gen 1. For that matter on a Gen 2, wishing to run 750 HP too. That said, if you are looking for the better place to start, a Gen2 or later engine would be the best place.

By the way, I drive a Gen 1. It is what it is, and it runs strong.

As I remember, the 16 GT's had about 640 HP. Giving that another 100 ponies wouldn't be much of a stretch.
