Swapping one of these into a New Edge is what I might do as my next project.
REVan Evan just did that... keep us posted
@@mayniac5.09 Yeah it looks awesome sitting in that new edge.
@@brandonknight7240 Well, it is a project, they aren't cheap.
@@brandonknight7240 15 grand is a 3rd the price of a new gt premium! Just saying put that in perspective!💯
@@johndoe-zb8bm Everyone may not like the look of the heavy newer cars or maybe not want independent rear suspension, etc.
I have had my eye on this engine for my 1969 F-250 and have been really wanting to do this swap. Good for me is I am in no rush and will just wait it out and slowly get parts to do the build. Great video.
Time will tell but I’m excited to see where this goes!!
Always great content! Never disappointed with your videos. Love this engine, would love this in my fox!
Great Informative Video!!
Looking forward to seeing those swaps on this channel in the future!!
Great video Caleb, a voice of reason and wisdom that should be heard
Great information Caleb. Thank you. Me I’m still old school 351 w with aluminum heads. Lol! Love it
youll love the godzilla then. its got pushrods😁
I have seen really really bad ass swaps already in the past couple of months. And a few were drag specific builds! And they are mean as hell. But is the Godzilla is better than Coyote? Well let's use a visual image of this. A Godzilla will eat a Coyote lol. I'd say DOO it! Be a channel that experiments with the Godzilla! And get some hits from it! Good video and keep up the awesome work fellas..Updates on Two Tone yet? Peace!
If ford doesn't put that in a production mustang they are fools. There should always be a BOSS.
I agree 100%, but I’m afraid Ford has done similar foolish things in the past.
This engine is garbage they way it sets. Dodge is making 707 hp out of just 370 cubic inches. It should have been 800 + from the factory. Why make it over 400 cubic inches and less than 500 hp. What a wasted opportunity buy Ford.
@@jasoncampbell5518 ah yes because a naturally aspirated engine and a supercharged engine can be compared on displacement of the engine alone. Idiot. Did you forget forced induction is a thing? Go remove that blower from the 6.2 liter and see what kind of power it makes without it.
@@jasoncampbell5518 The 7.3 is supposed to be a truck engine. Low horsepower in a large naturally aspirated v8 increases reliability and durability.
Great content with a vast amount of knowledge going everywhere!! Best channel around!
Thank you sir
@@FoxcastMedia watch ausie vid. crate 7.3, with harrop super charge, 800 hp easy..
Putting a 7.3 (or the 6.8) into a new Bronco 2 door would be magnificent.
I'm waiting for the aftermarket to get a hold of the Godzilla. This will be my next engine. 18 months later I've seen 1 come through the salvage yard I work at.
You can absolutely use that same logic on the crown vic front ends too. They used to be really cheap and perfect for a 67-72 F100, used to be.
That engine screams "Put me in a V6 New Edge body please!!!"
I wonder how it do in my 2nd Gen Lightning
Looking forward to seeing more of the Godzilla swaps in the future.
I bought a 7.3 crate engine when they fist were available for purchase. Still sitting in my garage. My plan is replacing the old 302 in my 89 F150. Gotta be manual of course. Waiting for my buddy to build it for me. I'd do it but I'd end up messing something up drastically. My old f150 is in immaculate condition with no rust. Been in the family since new. Has 92k original kms on the truck. Not sure what that is in miles. You guys down south should roughly know
57,166 thousand miles 😊
Chevy fella. Love to see ford stepping back up to the plate I would think one could use obd 2 just like ls engine
I’m very excited to see where the Godzilla goes. I think it has a ton of potential, and I’d like to put one in a regular cab short bed F150 soon. I’d love to see one on your channel.
The Godzilla is more narrow because the heads are not as big being the cam is in the block just like you said. But another big reason the pushrod, cam in block engines are more narrow is they are traditionally 60 degree V8s where the cylinder banks are a 90 degree design in the mod motors. The wider cylinder V angle plus the bigger over head cam heads make the mod motor way wider. All the common domestic pushrod V8s are 60 degree cylinder banks, the LS, Windsor, gen 1 SBC, big block Chevy, big block Ford and all the Chrysler V8s are 60 degree. The mod motor is the only domestic V8 I know of with a 90 degree V.
You have a Detroit Speed Banner on the wall behind you. You should really go on their site to see what they are putting together for the 7.3 Ford package. Overall this presentation is better than what I have seen on this site previously. Good luck in the future.
Im not sure where u get your information from but 1 yr ago they was already making cams ,front assembly drive unit ,oil pans, intakes ,throttle bodies and whipple is producing and super charger and the aftermarket accessories was being made for this engine over a yr ago and u can spice the ecm into a coyote ecm
I’m on the fence for this strawberry coupe. I want to do the Godzilla but the parts are so scarce right now
I heard that Ford is going to be producing the 6.8L 414 C.I. Into the 2022mustang. Yeah you’d have to go crate engine for now. I’m glad too see Ford getting back into the pushrod motors. Thanks for the great video as always.
Fords new 6.8 for 2022 or 2023 is coming for Mustang GT and F150.. Its being built at the Godzilla plant.. the 6.8 is 4.5" narrower than the 5.0 Coyote... 6.8 will have iron block aluminum head., Single cam , 16 valve heads, one timing chain.. the 6.8 is supposed to have 430hp 475lbtq ... 700hp NA potential... 1450hp Whipple with upgraded internals.. This engine will get massive hp with less moving parts..
i am on the fence doing the godzilla swap, but you are probably right.
Good information brother 👍🏾
I know Indy power products. Sells aftermarket intake manifold,rocker covers, and more parts for swaps.
Great video
Can't wait 👍🚦🚗💨🏁 Keep it coming
a 1994 4.6 2 valve... I read that everything in it is cast steel, even the pistons. makes 165 wheel horse power... so I put a little turbo on it, makes -2psi of boost in park at 5200rpm. if its a combination of elevation, rev limiter ignition cut or other... when the automatic transmission shifts the air is still there, not sure how fast the reaction based OBDII emissions corrections are, read it's 40Mhz divided by the chain of sensors... still over 6Mhz. anyways that's still a +8psi gear shift that the mechanical gauge might not have time to react to, though 6Mhz on a thermal/mechanical exhaust/intake sensor. thermometer reads the temperature on a Tuckey fairly quick, careful not to melt the now 28 year old exhaust sensors "there's 4 of them". think one is a primary and the other is a secondary, so if the primary goes out it wont drive good unless its run upto the point that even an analog ecu could have a switch that cycles to the secondary sensors under higher engine load. not sure if the exhaust sensor detecting heat causes the fuel pulse to become longer to cool down the engine, but if I made an engine management system that only had a exhaust heat sensor... It would put in more fuel to cool down the cylinders, until the O2 sensors say no more... ... ... on a graphing calculator that would be a timing plot for each sensor input that is modified by the next sensor in the chain. and is it that, ECU is a multi core graphing calculator? Calculus's calculators aren't cheep ether. but in a automotive application, all tuning becomes mechanical. chevy of the same year only had a singular two wire sensor in the exhaust, fords got four... whole fuel map run off nothing but the tps rpm and heat sensor, a analog fuel injector circuit capacitors transistors and resistors, faster the key wheel on the engine turns the higher the voltage drop on the transistor is... like a guitar amplifier but that distortion switching is dialed in to oculate when the injector needs to go off, worked for a duel injector TBI, no timing really... vague blur of over there without pointing or looking.
If i had gone to electrical engineering classes... might have picked up some more stuff but oh well. start taking chemistry and hand grow the crystals for the transistors from recycled computer tech.
I wonder if the ECU can have a calculus's function that without a flex fuel sensor can identify the speed of the flame front around a startup sequence that adjusts the ignition timing until it reaches a target rpm. techy?
I planted some potatoes yesterday morning, thinking about cleaning out the deep fryer this fall.
That is so sick. Thanks for sharing. 🤟
This engine could end up being the perfect swap candidate for the obs and bullnose Broncos and 4x4 F150s.
Is it me or is there two alternator’s on the Godzilla in the picture of it?
Awesome engine for the price But like the 2v we're limited on aftermarket go fast parts...
Hmmm, just looking into this. Would be an interesting swap into an E-series
My wife said your a bad influence, so I subscribed and liked this video. I have a 1988 Bronco II that I planning a cool build for my son's first vehicle. And really tight realty I am in and I think imma go 7.3 but do they offer a 6spd trans( I'm guessing would be manual option for it). Cause I'm staying with a manual trans
Great video.
Could you put one in a 2003-2004 F250 ? One website said it wouldn’t fit but I’m not living with that? Someone let me know something please
I hope the 7.3l godzilla doesn't wind up like GM's 8.1. Any news on the 6.xl ford engine?
Yeah, yeah, availability (lack of). Gimmie the #s! Is it to tall to go under a factory Fox hood? Does it need to move rearward 2in to keep weight distribution in check? Do I need to beat on the firewall to clear the intake? And so on like that
Heres what im waiting for. Isnt there talk of a 6.8 or 351 or something coming? I was honestly thinking of doing this godzilla in white car when im done beating up on this new 408 this year.
i seen this in a crown vic.. so good
My work truck is a '19 F350 with the 6.2 gas motor and 6R80. I've been pretty impressed with the power. I'd love to swap that setup into one of my old Ford trucks. ('78 F100, '89 F150, '82 Bronco.) Has anyone heard of someone doing this swap before?
Some used the 5.0 harness with few wire modification
Good content !
I would love a modern pushrod Ford motor in my fox but the Godzilla is to heavy for my goals. Maybe we will see a aluminum version by the time I blow up this old Windsor.
The engine will do great in a 1990 f150.
Boost limit has been found 1000tq 800hp stock and the blow up also most the videos out there show built ones not stock ones
There may not be a product to run it on the market yet but, with some craftiness, the engine management systems for other cam-in-block V8's will do.
I know Adaptronics made one that will. Making it work is just a matter of doing the homework.
Pro could be fitting it into a 66 mustang without cutting shock towers like with the 5.0 and without going ls
Why would anyone want to do that? The handling steering and structural rigidity of those cars is terrible
We need an aftermarket aluminum block. It’s a heavy beast stock
I’d love to put one in the 97 Tbird I just bought.
I think what you would pay for the 7.3. You can build a F1 Pro Charger 408 SBF using AFR Heads with 10:0.1 and make a lot of power have plenty of drive ability. Plus if a person isn't experienced they can do blow through carb. Run High 8's all day still have. drivability.
All that for less than the 7000 for complete 7.3?
@@rickstrandberg6398 no way. A well built 408 sbf will cost 7-10k on a budget
The procharger alone would eat up over half the price of the 7.3...
You sure can't anymore man. I have 7 in my 393 and I balanced the crank myself. Those days are gone.
Hopefully I can use my current Holley EFI terminator x Max to fire it up instead of myself that should of bought the dominator in the first place..
No reason why a Haltech won't run it. Quite a few places making engine mounts too. There's a Harrop blown version down here in Australia also.
Seems control pack and headers are the only things missing as of today.
I think they will introduce them into the new 2022 f150. They look like their going back to the 80's and 90's chassis and frames, which were much bigger, and will be a beast in those trucks
Also I’ve seen the oil pan is massive and hangs very low in a mustang.
Have a look at Ford Godzilla 7.3 V8 Harrop Supercharger Testing (on CZcams) thanks for the great video.
That stance. Got specs?
I like this Godzilla engine but if i was building a swap car i would go with a coyote! Or wait until more parts are available!
I believe the 7.3 is the same dimensions as the 5.7 modular engine. Roughly same weight.
Need to ask a question, can u directly bolt down a gt 40 3 bar head on stock fox cam
You worried about Piston to valve clearance? Shouldn't be a problem. I have .513/.529 lift 276/282 duration cam with worked E7TE heads w/ 1.9 & 1.6 valves (bigger than the 3 bar) & it wasn't a problem ...until I put them them on a '86 block w/ stock flat top pistons. Had to notch them.
Thanks for your input much appreciated
I can't wait to see Brian Wolfe son new edge Godzilla project when its complete 1200-1400 hp 🤟🏽 .
i cant wait to see Brian's ultra street fox body at the track.
Brian Wolfe is killing it with that engine so far.
Any reason you don't do it yourself instead of dreaming of someone else's build 🤔
@@baby-sharkgto4902 lol exactly, it’s much easier to bash someone else build than wrench on something
I like the idea of a God Zilla engine in a Foxboby. But not seeing anyone beefing up their frame
This may be dead in the water like the Vortec 8100 but we’ll see. That GM 8.1 496 engine was cool and comparable to this 20 years ago but the aftermarket did not follow the engine. Big truck engine but few people ever put them in cars unfortunately.
I hope to see Ford guys use this Godzilla engine soon enough.
There's already been a couple of swaps. One of which is in a looks like old three valve mustang.
I respectfully disagree. Ford isn't going to stop building medium-duty truck chassis anytime soon and they need a gasoline engine offering for customers who don't want to spend more for a diesel. The 7.3 Godzilla is here to stay for a while.
@@brad3378 and apparently selling like hotcakes
@@brad3378 you can disagree. Maybe people will take on this engine differently.
GM hasn’t stopped making medium/heavy duty trucks but the 8.1 engine has been discontinued for over a decade at this point. It was basically a 496 (8.1) big block with LS style heads and long runner intake much like this Godzilla engine. The Godzilla and Vortec 8.1 were both designed for trucks.
One of the biggest issues with that GM engine was fitting the oil pan in car frames. No one ever made an oil pan to fit car frames. A few people chopped/welded the cast aluminum oil pan but those builds have been few and far between.
I hope that the Ford car guys are able to make something of this engine. Didn’t take too well to the GM crowd unfortunately.
@@bigboreracing356 man, I’d just toss a turbo on your silverado and call it a day. Way easier.
Team z has a k member kit
and motor mounts, and i think headers are coming too
why do you guys all forget the 6.2? its 4.5 bore space OHC.
How is this better than the 385 series?
5.0 Coyote is making more HP stock. What's the point
I'm swapping it into my Lincoln town car for sure. The torque should get 4500 lbs moving. 😆🤣🤣
Considering the fact that the 7.3l Powerstroke/T444E Diesel V8 made it's way into the Ford Econoline, I feel like swapping the brand new Godzilla into the Ford Transit in the North American market (in which it succeeded the Econoline). Having an engine like the 7.3L Gasoline V8 instead of the stock V6 in my opinion definitely gives the transit the power it needs to almost be moving mass at full capacity while rocketing down the road .
Bro why did I post this cringe essay
I thought I would stop
Hahahahah i said this shit in the last video and here we are! So glad you heard me ;)
That wire hanging from the ceiling made me think there was a pube stuck on the edge of my screen...
Paul been doing a lot
There guy doing one in the driveway in s197
think about a Godzilla, stock, 200 hit of nitrous....were talking north of 600 in torque, in a light fox one may see low 9's or better and still have complete reliability and drivability all under 6k in revs....think of the gear you could get away with for cruising and the lower noise.....I think if the creek don't rise and were all still here, this may be in my future....
My 2004.5 Cummins has 600 torque stock...
Coyote Wiring harness works, 6R80 is best, Heads and Intake available by John Wolf or Ron Wolf...See Revan Evan, K Member available there, oil Cooler is fixed with Filter relocation kit, Tuning available same. A new Godzila is sold for $8500.00 by FORD Performance. A Supercharged 3 Liter Eaton I believe was making 1400HP . Tell me you can build a Coyote at 1400HP for less money. SEE:Revan Evan for all the right information...oh ya...cam available from Ron Wolf to.
I’ll wanna see the new 6.8L Ford is supposed to be making.
I'd bet anything its just a de-stroked 7.3
@@northfloridacowboy8728 probably adding aluminum block and tuned for more power.
More power? Idk, the only app that I know its planned for is the f150. Wont be the mustang unless a special addition bc that would work neg against the beloved coyote.i think all the coyotes need to be taken up in cubes to atleast 5.2
@@northfloridacowboy8728 the 6.8 is supposed to be for the Mustang and f150. That would be a great move for Ford
@@northfloridacowboy8728 i hope they dont waste time on the coyote, the Godzilla platform is so much more reliable, and will be bullet proof ( its the ford LS engine) who doesnt want that? Will be cheaper to mod as well. Who wants to change 4 cams and deal with multi valves?
Everyone take a shot every time this dude rubs his hands
You thinking of godzilla swapping your new 4 eyed coupe project?
I'll sell you a 7.3 Godzilla right now for $45k...it comes with a truck
The only thing you're wrong about is availability of gasser 250s, most of them are gas because they're mostly fleet vehicles
there gas because diesel, is too hard to emmision..
maybe when the 6.7 version arrives in a couple years it will be more available than the 7.3...
*6.8
You should put the Godzilla in the LTD
Godzilla swap LT Dan.
I'd rather swap a Barra into a fox than the 7.3. It would be just as hard to buy parts.
3rd comment kinda on time lol hey dude u gonna get more power out of your coyote swap you should go with pro charger or twin turbos
the godzilla will always make more power and torque when equally prepared.
That’s true
Why does fox cast not respond to any messages or his email. He has a business and can’t answer emails or messages?
I do my best, but I am one person and get over 100 a day. My apologies.
Can't beat the OHV design. Nice to see Ford revisit the old school design. It's substantially less complicated than the overhead cam designs to work on and modify. Due to price, ease to work on and also punch provided are the reasons why the LS is the most popular engine swap out there(again OHV). The coyote is a impressive performer but face it, it's a bit light in the ass in the torque department. Still even for today, displacement is still a big factor.
You do realize that all the V8's made since the 1950's or there abouts is OHV, including the Coyote 🤔
@@baby-sharkgto4902 I assume judging by your GTO profile pic your a GM fan. GM stuck with the OHV design and continued with the LS as you know, and starting in 1996 Mustang line uncle Henry walked away from the OHV architecture starting with the 4.6 and by doing so a number of mustang fans back then jumped ship and went with the LS1 cars GM had. A Ford fan like myself reading my comment and being an OHV guy in particular would understand my delight in the development of the OHV Godzilla powerplant!👍 By the way, the coyote is a D.O.H.C. engine, and NOT an O.H.V. !
@@erikturner5073 I like all American V8 engines. I have a lot of cars and trucks from GM, Ford and Dodge. I like some foriegn stuff too and even own some of them. I do not discriminate.
@@baby-sharkgto4902 neither do I descriminate either. I just have my preferences. The coyote is impressive, however it not for me, and I'm sure others feel the same.
@@erikturner5073 yeah no doubt
this motor wont be common in a show\cruise type car for a while, but, the ford racing community is going nuts for the godzilla motor. it will quickly become the dominant motor when it comes to competition. even Paul Svnickey a mod motor guy is switched over, and lovin it.
TeamZ has a godzilla K member and solid motor mounts in stock ready to go,
Brian Wolfe is making several different cam profiles, and offers CNC head porting and engine assembly for godzilla 7.3s, theres already aftermarket intakes and front timing cover\dress available from Indy power products.
it bolts up to any bellhousing\trans behind a ford mod motor including coyotes
theres no substitute for cubic inches, period. godzilla can go over 500ci. and its WAY smaller in size than a coyote.
coyote motors are great, but the godzilla is gonna be way better.
Lol, I’m curious....why do you have such a man crush on Brian wolfe and more importantly what do you drive/build that is gonna get this beastly 400hp motor?
@@SLOride2010 well if you know anything about fox mustangs, he's a legend in the ford racing community, he's local to me, and a former Neighbor to me. hes a good dude and probably the one of the most knowlegable ford engine guys youll ever meet. im passionate about pushrod Ford motors because they plain make power AND torque. every one i listed above are all from michigan also, this is the epicenter of ford racing. i dont plan on useing a godzilla motor at all. i have a 5.0 based 347 going in the jeep in my avatar. why are you so interested in me?
@@SLOride2010 wheres your badass dyno#s babbler?
@@motownXJdad9565 “meet and greet at Moes speed shop” is the video and at the beginning you see my coupe with me laying on the ground working on it then on the dyno at the 17:57 mark. My n/a 6.0 ls makes almost as much power as that built 302 with a 70mm turbo.
Harrop makes a supercharger they pulled 1000 hp and never broke a single item.
Check out Brian Wolfe Godzilla 7.3L
Better buy a crate Godzilla before Ford jacks the price up!
If you can’t wait for Ford, Obrcontrolsystems makes a control pack for $3,550...
Aje k-member works
E350 E450 RVs
One man to call is revan Evan, they’ve been on this engine since it was released. Not to mention the coyote is like forcing a fat woman in a smart car when swapping into mustangs. Fun novelty but, the Godzilla is going to be new Ford popular engine swap for the next 20+ years. The parts are already here and the fabricated parts are on their way like white on rice.
I want 7.3 swap my 01 F150 4x4... soooo bad
I'll take 1 of those 8000 plus dollar engines and stick it in my 500 dollar 77 f150
A lot of people want something other than a diesel because of def issue
DEF is def gay
I wanna swap my Mustang a slap a Whipple on that big boy!
In just a year the price has already gone up to $8k 😭
