Larger-displacement engines won't fit in the high-performance Bronco—at least, not the ones available off the shelf.
launch Ford Performance boss Carl Widmann explained to Motor Authority why the Bronco Raptor doesn't have a larger, more powerful, engine than its current twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6.Simply put, the Braptor's too narrow for the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 that produces 450 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque in theWhile the Braptor is far from narrow–it's 8.6 inches wider than stock, making it 7.
It may be possible to shoehorn the larger engine under the hood, but that doesn't mean Ford can or will. The automaker needs the engine to fit, and also to have enough space to keep cool, breathe, and pass crash tests while meeting safety standards.Enthusiasts clamoring for Ford to shove the 5.0-liter V-8 under the Braptor's hood aren't going to get their wish either.
Widmann said the 5.0-liter V-8 doesn't have enough low-end torque to satisfy the Raptor engineering team's requirements. Nothing aside from a supercharger would solve that issue, but Ford doesn't offer a supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 in any vehicle from the factory.

Ford Brings Rally Trucks and Slammed 'Stangs to SEMAStranded hikers and backcountry adventures can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that ARB has created the perfect off-road rescue vehicle. Using a Ford Bronco Wildtrak chassis with the 2.7-liter V6, ARB worked with Ford to make an ode to the medical service vehicles of the early 1900s, complete with Tube doors, an under-hood air compressor, and a winch. Upgraded suspension by ARB and a series of chassis protection pieces (rock sliders, traction boards, and a skid plate) mean this Bronco should be unstoppable, regardless of the terrain ahead.Bringing the proper equipment is as important as getting to a medical emergency on time. To this effect, ARB has built and installed a first-of-its-kind roof rack with room for boxes, tires, and various other fittings. Additionally, a 47-quart fridge and freezer has been installed for, well, the worst-case scenarios, or beverage consumption. And the medical providers are sure to stay strapped in, thanks to a set of Recaro bucket seats up front. All-in-all, I wouldn't want any other vehicle to come to save me off the side of a mountain.
