Official Eaton Swap Head Count Thread

Is there an updated list with the part numbers? It's a headache going through all these old long threads.

Think of the headache it was to make the Eaton swap happen. Maybe that will put things into perspective for you and relieve this headache you have. I feel for you, I really do......
 
Completed this project last weekend. This wasn't nearly as hard as some made it out to be. In fact it was fairly simple with a few hiccups. Thanks to everyone who assisted and helped along the way.

After 18 years' ownership my time has come. After being at ~10 Trilogy installs my planets lined up and I got everything* for my Eaton swap.

Life and stuff got in the way and these aspirations get moved further and further from priority. I have all the big components, the brackets, COT, pulleys, battery tray, Cobra intake tube. While working at the Ford dealer I bought every little part needed down to the bolts and clamps.

Still need to get the coolant tube and MAF. Been taking lots of notes and pics. My install is beginning in January and that's perfect timing because my new kitchen doesn't even have the countertops installed yet.

The Autometer gauges for AFR and boost are already installed. The heat exchanger from Frozen Boost is, too. I was sitting on a pair of cam covers so they're gonna be blue. I love the way the engine looks in the Supercharged Ford GT with the blue and silver and that's my direction.

Looking forward to being on this list.

None of this could have never happened without the collective knowledge and generosity of all of you.
 
Well I’m finally back in an Eaton swapped DTR. Mine original one was hit head on by a drunk driver back in 2018 if I recall. Life and health got in the way of rebuilding it so I sold it. Fast forward to earlier this year. I find out a friend of mine Mike an original member and mod here passed away who owned an Eaton swapped DTR that my friend Bob and I built for him some odd years ago. I was very fortunate to get in touch with Mikes family and friend with the help of Drewstang. Big thank you for getting the ball rolling!! So anyways my wife and I picked up Mikes car about four weeks ago and the rest is history. RIP Mike. Some of us miss you man.
 
This actually caused my eyes to well up. RIP to Mike; I can't think of anyone else who is a better candidate to gain ownership of his MM (maybe Bob). So great to hear you're back in the mix, Joe!

I appreciate the kind words. I was a bit emotional completing the transaction. I met up with Mikes sister, ex wife, his daughter and his good friend. Multiple times my eyes filled with tears. It was hard to say the least.
 
Awesome news Joe!!!!!! I'm glad the car stayed in the our marauder family, it couldn't have gone to a better owner..... PS, when are you going to convince Bob to get another marauder?
 
Congratulations!!

Perfect home for her sir.
I’ll keep the perverted comment for another time and the actions for when we see each other
 
JOE!
Glad you ended up with Mikes ole DTR! Your old one is sitting in the garage not finished... Derek called me today and reminded me you had bought another, i forgot, or didnt know lol.
Anyone got a good suggestion for the silver cover that goes over the heater box?
