A sad, sad day in the history of my SHO.....

[EcoPowerParts]

I've been through what you're dealing with twice with my CTS-V, you take your lumps and move on, it sucks but it is what it is.
The question I have out of all this is how the hell is the transmission going to handle 1000 HP
Might be time to just fix the engine back to where it was and build an 18 ecoboost truck, at least the transmission can be built or swapped to a turbo 400 for max effort. I mean you can keep trying to push the boundary but the transmission and PTU are the weak points above 600WHP, it's been proven over and over again.

I thought you said 500awhp for the trans based on the results from your flex?

600, 500 the trans and PTU is the limiting factor in the platform unless you strip off about 2K lbs
Mike I'd say fix your car, keep it a show car and run your mid 11's when desired and keep it trouble free. If it's paid off then that's your SHO (show) vehicle and have fun with it but it's basically done. Find something else to build to go fast IMHO otherwise you're getting ready to have a huge exercise in frustration, I mean everybody loves to cheer on someone using their own money to make a vehicle but smashing your head into the wall repeatedly with constantly breaking parts while past the bleeding edge is just horrible, ask me how I know.
You'd have a perfect vehicle, a race truck that can tow your show car all ecoboost.

I know its probably too late but what if......

1. Someone here is an authorized Ford rep? (FoMoCo)
2. Could they secure you crate engine from the GT?
3. The dual clutch? trans thats used in it better built for your desire?

Then maybe the only limit would be finding some kinda way to program the ECM, trans and AWD to work together!

You have to directly work with a Ford Concierge. 

2. Could they secure you crate engine from the GT?
No they cannot.  I highly doubt parts will be available for non GT customers for a extended period of time.  I mean it took years before the Hellcat Motors were offered as a factory crate option.

3. The dual clutch? trans thats used in it better built for your desire?
If you could secure one, the GT 3.5 block is completely different and will not directly fit the 6f55.  Even then if you could get it to work, the GT 3.5 will tear that 6f55 and PTU to shreds.  He would have to abandon the whole transverse set up, and he has stated he isn't willing to do that.  He would need a whole GT drivetrain, some type of transfer case, and some type of front axle powertrain assembly.  For the amount of money and fabrication he is looking at least 40K on the low end, he might as well just buy a new GT500 that has a warranty and looks amazing.

I concur with most you said. But I was thinking out loud.

However, the GT engine (detuned) is being used in F-150 (raptor). I also believe there is 4wd version of the F-150 so adapting it for AWD vs 4wd use may not be impossible.

Even if finding a wrecked raptor and exploring. I considered this as a means of not adding meth to my car and still bumping performance up. I didnt put too much effort into tho.

Anyway, just wild thoughts/ideas!
