I just told my wife I cannot afford both her and a blown Godzilla. So, she's moving in with her boyfriend to save me the bucks. What a peach!
😂
Haha I did same thing funny how jealous women get over cars
Bwahahahahaha
If it's got tits or tires on it,,it will cost you money and cause you problems!! Best advice my father EVER gave me! Your wife gets it!! Lol
@@joegaskill8742 Well, she's getting it now, but not from me. I pulled the dipstick out of the tube at 130 pounds. I don't rub the chub.
Man that is impressive being a life long ford guy I've always felt like the underdog times have definitely changed
Big ls fan here, but this engine is looking to be a helluva contender. Its got the durability, and right out of the gate its got big displacement. I think the aftermarket will blow up for these things and it'll be a while until they're in junkyards long enough for a guy to get a shot at them.
@@ZboeC5 i think the dohc stuff was worth the money in terms of experimentation and knowledge. The packaging was a massive problem in my book, along with price, but there's no denying the efficiency. Sucks for us pushrod guys to admit it, but its true.
The only v8s i like from ford are their modular engines. Now all they make are 4 cylinders and v6s...so basically why buy a ford when you can buy a JDM vehicle for less money and more reliability. I liked ford because of the icon v8 . Sohc and dohc v8s are so volumetric efficient . Makes use of every bit of atmosphere and timing to get the best results. I feel like those days are over now. EV is taking over. If rather plug a car in than here a ford sound like a horrendous honda .
Ford's ohc engines never panned out? If you're a Ford guy you're clueless. The 4.6 is Fords most reliable engine ever made. They can do a million plus miles without even being opened for a gasket or, run 5s in the 1/4. The 4.6 4v teksid holds the stock block record at 5.88 in the 1/4 and it hasn't stretched its legs on the block. The 3 strongest factory blocks ever made are all Ford aluminum blocks. The 4.6 teksid 4v, the 4.6 3v aluminator and, the 5.4 4v in the Ford gt
@@ZboeC5 lots of 4.6s take down ls engines bud. You just dont like ford at all. Typical ls fanboy you are. Research before you make baseless claims. You make chevy guys look BAD. SHAME ON YOU
To hell with a supercar, I want an F-350 with this badass in it.
I just got mine! with 4.3 rear!
2020 350 4x4 has e lock pull 4x4 knob works in 2 wheel drive too
Just sold my 05 Powerstroke.... looking hard at a extended cab - short bed (6' 3/4")- XL F-350 FX4 with a 7.3 , 4.3 rear locker with useful accessories(factory gooseneck/5th wheel prep, cruise control, dual batteries, engine block heater, up-fitter switches, spray in bedliner, LED bed lighting, Box link, LED Roof Lamps, High output Alternator (397 amp) trailer break controller, PTO! etc -- $49K plus tax and other nonsense dealer fees. If I add Power Equipment Group - $50k plus change . I paid $46K for my brand new XLT FX4 Powerstroke in 2005. I am ok with this.
I think that Ford surprised a lot of people, (including me), when it started producing this big displacement pushrod engine. They're absolutely doing the right thing by making it available to everybody in crate form; giving factory input toward the performance potential and letting the aftermarket have at it toward making big horsepower in whatever platform they wish. Being someone who bleeds Ford blue, this was the best news I've heard out of Ford in quite a while and I can't wait to see what the aftermarket, (i.e. aluminum blocks, big port heads, stout internals and forced induction add-ons), is going to offer for the Godzilla, (a great name). Sometimes going the route of the tried and true, simple engine designs and away from the complexity of overhead camshafts is a damned good idea for both fleet and competition purposes. Will Godzilla see endurance racing, both off-road and on, along with the expected drag racing scene? It'll be interesting to see.
If this engine does good I think it will become Fords version of LS people will be sticking it in everything
better ls if you look at the design ford basicaly said this is how you should have made it lol
This engine was made by the last madlad at ford that knew gearheads would take it to its full potential because he couldn't unedr fords thumb
This 7.3L is revving up to 8K RPM. That is very cool. Hope someone spins it to 9K.
The 6.8 for the mustang should hit that with a shorter stroke
Can’t wait to see someone put some twin precisions on the Godzilla.
Stupid amount of power for sure. Easily quad digits
Easily a 2000hp engine with a few other mods, I hope the aftermarket picks up on these engines cause they’re modern day gems 🔥
Transplant that fire breathing monster in a Ford Raptor. That would be one awesome Raptor!!!
Thats where it belongs
@@scottcooper500 Agreed!
That’s what they are doing, this release is a test , then it’s going in the new raptor following year
@@bigbeef8935 I would hope so, I have heard many reports that they are going with the de-tuned Shelby GT500 5.2 Liter Supercharged motor though. I feel the Godzilla would be a better fit seeing that they could start at around 720hp and then go up from there very easily if dodge bumped the horsepower ratings on the TRX.
Its a truck motor! Makes too much since. Ford uh fuck it up. Supercharged 5.2 in a raptor is retarded.
Big Block Ford is back!
Ford powe!!!!!!
r!!!!!
@@rdub79lx 😂🤣🤣👍🏽😂🤣
Must be a turbo charged response with that delay.... 😂
About time Ford rediscovered the "pushrod " again
WE HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE WATERPUMP COVER :D worked on it personally :)
It looked awesome!
Thank God for FORD gearheads
Glad to see this is going into a fox Mustang. Awesome!
😳
That’s amazing how factory cylinder head castings can support 1700hp after being reworked. Fords always been ahead of the game in HP. look at the 4-V closed chamber Cleveland with the correct roller cam, funnel web intake makes crazy power. I’ve always ran ford power and have had great results.
Huh? All 3 years? Ya right, when they do have something good they kill it off. SO many missed opportunities over the years to save money. They had IRS 9 inch prototypes, awd systems, all kinds of cool stuff in the 60s that they never followed through with.
@@falconater68 more than likely because no existing platforms would support it or it was too expensive at the time to create and the car would be all too much money for a regular consumer and back in the 60s before Carroll Shelby and the gt40 at Lemans Ford was again way more focused on pushing out alot of cars rather than making the best of products
I guess you didn't see a junkyard sbe ls 6.0 make 1,597 hp did ya
Hahaha Ford has not always been ahead of the game in hp 5.4 was gutless as hell
@@deeremeyer1749 Opinions very!
That's an absolute monster
Though I like the Godzilla tag, I think I'll call it the Wolfe 7.3, or better yet "Wolfe 445". Love my 2020 F350 Lariat with the Wolfe 445, average 9.5 mpg towing a 9000 lb trailer all over the west with high octane pump gas. Otherwise average 13.7 mpg when not towing. Thanks for these vids!
Yes!
You are too kind, thank you.
@@brianwolfe2993 You're very welcome, sir. Looking forward to putting many miles on my truck. I'll be keeping it 100% stock, no aftermarket exhaust or intake, no lift or leveling kit. However, I won't be following the recommended oil change interval of 9000 miles. I'm on my 4th oil change at 14,000 miles and only use Motorcraft oil and filters. Thanks again.
This thing would really shine with twin turbos and modern stand-alone with some alcohol. Instead of having a rising boost curve... you can get it to stand up way sooner. almost all of motorsports has converted to ethanol or methanol. Who wants to spend $10+ a gallon.... when theres something better and a tenth of the price and renewable. Don't get me wrong I love the way trick fuel smells.
It would be awesome to see this in a new SVT lightening.
Well considering they're using the lightning name on their new electric F-150, there's exactly a 0% chance of a lightning ever coming back with this or any other ICE engine in! Those of us that can actually afford to build one can make our own though since Ford will never make it!
it would look better in my lightning
A diamond to remember
this needs to go in the Ford GT
It does not need to be in the Ford gt. Sorry bud. Literally makes no sense. It’d make sense if you said slap it in a F150 or a mustang but it ain’t gonna fit in a gt. And the gt isn’t meant for straight line acceleration. Meant for track use, this engine wouldn’t hold up being raced around a circuit.
Makes me so happy ford made this motor!
Yes Sir!..First On Race Day!!
WOW, 2000 hp is not far fetched at all on a all stock engine pump gas. Holy shit !
You're not going to make 2,000 horsepower on a pump gas I don't know what world you living in
i just have tunes on my 20 f350 with the 7.3 an takes off like crazy as is could only imagine what fun it would be with a set up like that..
I know you don't buy a superduty and worry about gas mileage. I heard it all before but did it improve or it got worse after the tune.
I read that they increase timing so you have a more efficient burn of the fuel you already use. That's why I asked the question. I also have a 2020 with the 7.3 and I was curious.
@@Donniec685 You might want to look into what actually goes into a tune. Increasing the AFR (going above 14.7:1) is going to lead to detonation, extremely hot combustion, and engine failure in an engine not specifically designed to lean burn gasoline like the Mazda Skyactiv-X. If you go the other way and decrease the AFR (go below 14.7:1) you get into a rich burn condition that reduces economy, creates excessive carbon emissions, can cause early catalytic converter failure if not corrected, cause carbon buildup, reduce power, and reduce fuel economy. In extreme rich burn cases you can wash the cylinder walls with fuel leading to cylinder wall scoring, oil dilution, and engine failure.
What a symphony
Thanks Evan for covering this,and Brain for all his hard work,as a dinki-dye ford man,enjoying the buildup and quite surprised of how much hp it is making
You’re welcome
Very very Impressive! This thing is a BEAST!
Sumbich is gettin down! Really impressive bottom end numbers for a centrifugal blower!
Everyone bashing this thing comparing it to a turbo LS. Gotta remember this was on a meager 16 pounds and gas. They’re only toe deep into this thing...
There are stock bottom end blown LS engines in the 1100hp range. This engine has pistons and rods done. Still pretty impressive. Want to see what tuners can do with the iron block 6.6L in the future.
@@ChuckBeefOG Sure. But again...this is on 16 lbs and gasoline. Not 20 pounds plus on C16/meth etc. etc. like all the LS boys north of 1,000.
@@ChuckBeefOG Todd Merkel made over 1100 HP with a completely stock engine, with twin 76mm Turbos, the only change was fuel injectors. Check out his facebook page . He did not even remove the valve covers......
Coyotes are cool but something about big displacement and good ol fashioned pushrods that really gets me 👌
Hell yeah, that thing is BADASS!
Heaven yeah
You know this reminds me of the old hot rod Ford days just wear he wanted to spend the time in the money to make a Ford engine good that engine would make you proud and it would run like a scalded ape. I know he was shooting for 17 1800 horsepower but 1,400 is nothing to to feel bad about. That's still very impressive especially considering you're running a factory crank and Factory ignition system. I would love to stick that engine down in something fun I'm thinking something like a 63 through 68 Galaxy or Fairlane when a 6-speed manual transmission 373 rear end 4-wheel disc brakes Crown Victoria front end with the power assist steering what a great hot rod that would make
I really wish Ford would put Godzilla up against the TRX with this blower n just crush it!
Do you guys know how impressive 1400hp is on 16lbs? This is spicy! Cannot wait to see where these engines go
@@deeremeyer1749
Bro what the fuck
@@SoI_Badguy yeah dude I can’t even read all of that hahaha
@@deeremeyer1749 Found the angry GM brand loyalty sheep
Need to replace my old V-10 with this in my Excursion. Don't want to lose speed going over passes when towing.
You won’t.
I said it before and i will say it again ford started this supercharger war..... and WILL FINISH #1
@@deeremeyer1749 .....who are you again? You sound very hurt 🤣 mustangs and other fords out there punchin your lights out i see. Thats right keep the salt its sad and funny at the same time all you see is salt from your comment......while we THE REA ARE CAR COMMUNITY ARE ON chevys head about the dis continuance of the camaro you can talk crazy all you want but at this point us v8 guys are outcast its not even really about us at war we are at war with electric vehicles get yourself together my guy go talk this shit on tesla page or ev Porsche page
Making this kind of power is impressive but to do it with a lot of factory parts is nuts.
Man this has been an awesome series. Can't wait to see where it goes from here!
Thank you Evin.
When that throttle body opened I felt the air suck out my lungs thru the video
AWESOME Evan & Brian, that engine is going to be a player for sure! Thank you for this video!
Now I can't wait to see it in the car and making passes!
Thank you.
Impressive. Sounds wonderful.
Look forward to the next update.
i bet that absolutely slurps gas down
With a little modification magic here and there this thing will really earn the name of godzilla
Wow! Congratulations on the plethora of hp, with experience and knowledge and engineering background that Brian have bravo, good on Ford side with that big Godzilla.👏💪👍🔥🇨🇦
Thank you.
great job...engine sound is absolutely beautiful...
The only thing I didn’t like about this video is that I can only push the like button once!
Thank you. Pass the word about subscribing to our channel, that always helps.
Thank you Chuck, appreciate your comment, very kind of you.
or use a different account say your cell then a laptop
that 7.3 is a beast...
There goes Godzilla. To the front.
Dayumm....12.5:1 compression ratio with 16.5 psi boost, and the stock head gaskets are still on it. The head attachment sure seems to be well-engineered. 1450 hp @ 16.5 psi is pretty decent for a positive displacement supercharger. Should take about 21.5 psi to get to 1700 hp.
Flow or air density is a lot better metric for that than a generic boost number
@@GreatLakesLogger Agreed. It should take about .171 lb/cubic ft manifold air density to get to 1650 hp.
So everyone is gonna ignore that badass Blue Oyster Cult into? Lol
Not me I loved it 👍
That torque is amazing!!!!
Awesome pull... now Throw away that whiney blower and put two 76s on there and it'll make even more power/trq at the same boost.
Not everyone likes hair dryers. Could be running a blower to benefit from class rules like weight breaks and such. There's more to a competitive a d fast car than just horsepower.
I love superchargers, but fear not, we will have a twin turbo build soon.
@@brianwolfe2993 definitely can’t wait for the Twin turbo setup! I’ll be the first in line to get my hands on that!!! First.On.Race.Day=Ford
Supercharged v8 sounds better than turbo.
@@paulhouchen9010 i wholeheartedly agree, however turbos cars IMO outperform their supercharged counterparts. Not trying to start an internet war lol because I know you guys will say “well if that were the case why hasn’t Ford make a high performance turbo v8”.
Just took our new Tremor with the 7.3L home today!
Holy smokes ls what not today son 2021 lots of 7.3 swaps coming all arround the states wish ford will offer that engine on the f150
The F150 and muatang gt are getting a 6.8 aka 408 windsor
@@karlhopkins713 its not confirm from ford so it sucks but ford need to do some about the dodge trx and i dont think ford will spend all the millions on a new engine design when they justed introduced the powerboost
Go with the 4.0L whipple. And let the Ford gods celebrate
Dyno: How much horsepower are you gonna make?
7.3: Yes
Factory valve covers. Well, yeah, they aren't there to make HP. Still impressive is the factory block and whatever else.
A durable and tough motor with big ass numbers... NOICE!!
It would be so cool if Ford destroked the 7.3 to 427 cubic inches, made the block aluminum, and put it in the Mustang.
@Mike Abney I've heard of the 6.8 project, but wasn't sure it was aluminum block. But I was keying in on the historical cachet that "427" has for Ford fans. 415 doesn't have it.
But from the point of competing with the Camaro with its 6.2, the 6.8 would get the job done. As long as it has ~510 HP, it would have a significant advantage.
I said this once and I’ll say it again I’m putting this set up in a Ford ranger
Had the same thoughts.
Gen 1 Lightning for me!
I’m fear that the only way it’s going into a little ranger is by hauling around that puppy in the bed 😳but for real I would like to see someone do it I’ve been keeping up with a guy who’s dropped a 6.2L hellcat into a RT 5.9L Dakota he’s had to do quite a bit of modifications to fit it in ,that 6.2 hemi O.D is significantly larger than the 5.9L 🤔 u can go to Boosted Motorsports and watch his progress
@@MikeVieira same here
Amazing work by Brian as usual! Excited to see this engine grow in the racing industry!
Well Chevy...we are waiting................................party time!
5.3 liter junk yard motor has made 1543 hp and 1255 tq Richard Holdener from Engine Masters challenge. Godzilla is a beast though. Great motor!!!!
@@ejohnson3837 this o way just getting started though
That’s SCJ numbers. That’s insane.
What does SCJ stand for?
Turbo Coyotes are making 4000hp and a 351ci Coyote with worked over "OEM heads" went 3.72@212mph in a PROMOD several years ago besting a field of nitrous, Supercharged and turbocharged pushrod engines up to 900 cubic inches with the best 2V cylinder heads on earth in several events.
What freaking beast, holy crap!
These motors must be just about indestructible if they are ran in stock form. Wow! Very impressive.
Alright next engine I’m saving up for! Bye bye 5.0L come to papa 7.3L lol 😂
6.8 L v8?
@@deviansurya7 who knows if it will ever be a thing. Ford has said nothing about it.
Ford power baby!!!
Sounds great,I guessed 14-1425hp at 15lbs so I was close.🔥👍
Yeah just double the hp with 14 lbs of boost.
Cute Gozilla on the timing cover.
I’m not trying to tell you guys how to do your jobs, but how about a 4.0l Whipple? 😎
Why not the 8.3 whipple?
Maybe a 14-71?
Probably cuz they are keeping it new school with the Gen 5 Whipple 3.0 and 3.6L.
What they should do is test the cylinder heads on a flow bench so they can know the maximum airflow potential, then pick the supercharger with the displacement that most closely matches the result.
I really wish Hot Rod or one of the other magazines or TH-cam channels would do a shootout between the Ford 7.3, Chevrolet 6.6 L8T, and the Dodge 6.4. An absolute shootout in stages to see what each engine makes the NA and how to get there and then FI of the builders' choice for hero numbers. SDPC made over 2k with the L8T and a pair of turbos, but with Whipple introducing the Gen 5 3.8, there is plenty more to be made here, I'm sure.
Very impressive build. I’ve been watching the progress along and it will be interesting to see how competitive the 7.3 will be. That said, in interested to hear how this engine compares to FE family of engines or even the 429/460 in terms of hp potential and reliability. I guess time will tell.
and it’s going in a black Notch?? 🖤. Ford never settles for 2nd.
Nice engine, ford finally got someone with a brain calling the shots, we needed a bigblock
3 litre blower added 600+ hp, amazing
I had a feeling that bigger motor breathing as well as it does would benefit a lot more from the 3.8 whipple or even bigger. NA that motor moves a ton of air.
I want to see what one can do with a crank drive Procharger setup 🔥
I bought the 2020 and had the 7.3 motor in it. I would love to drop that engine in my truck! Some day I hope I can afford the Whipple charger.
7.3L GODZILLA Emblem Decals... found
They have them for the Doors and Tailgate
on ebay under
7.3L GODZILLA DECALS
I know it's a Godzilla, but goddamn 4:32 to 4:36 kinda reminded me the Tyrannosaurus Rex after pushing that Ford Explorer down the cliff in the first Jurassic Park. 😆
Pretty damn impressive! I been waiting impatiently for this to come out. Keep up the good work. Let's see that 3 8 whipple :)
Cant wait to drop one of these into my 79 short box 2wd
Love what you're doing here, nice to see what you can get out of this engine; My 2015 F-150 5.0 has been problem-free but it's getting long in the tooth, if Ford options this in the F-150 I'll buy a new truck the next day. Keep up the great content!
Shit, if this went into an F150 they’d have to call the model a Behemoth or Leviathan.
@@monkeyslap I would buy one tomorrow if this was an option.
Keep the truck and get a crate Godzilla then....
@@hutch814 That's an option; I don't know how the electronic would work. I would need their ECU and my Trans strength-ed.
Clicked on this thinking it was a diesel 7.3 with a supercharger. Got kind butt hurt lol. But love the gas 7.3 sounds nice!
I would love to see you guys feature the Ford Boss 6.2 SOHC .......weight ,size and dimension!
Rear end wrecked 7.3 Super Duty value just went up 5,000%
If the effects of this video last more than 4 hours seek medical attention!
LOL!!!! You win the internets for that day.
Or financial advice. Im not going back to cali cali cali.
Makes the right noises
That thing sounds pissed
Probably is and at a point right before failure
@@shadowopsairman1583 no it has more in it some one made 1114 hp on a bone stock 1 with twin turbos
Dang, it almost sounds like a NASCAR motor!
I was waiting for someone to slap an air conditioner on Godzilla for a long time
Thank you so much
Godzilllllllla! Dang, that thing is making some steam!!
Did i just hear you made 790 horsepower NATURALLY ASPIRATED correctly? O.O
Sounds like a Whipple number in itself christ. I imagine the 1,000 club is coming 😎
Yes, please see our earlier video on the 7.3l
I'm really surprised that belt isn't slipping. I'd love to see the boost curve.
5:17 it looks like it is from all the black dust on the front of the motor.
wow, that 7.3 L is a beast !!!!
790 NA, and a Hellcat needs a blower to make those kind of numbers. now twice that with a blower also.
The 7.3 is built what u expect 🤣 and plus its a liter bigger
@@tristansmirnow850 he was saying that everyone looks at the hellcat as superior to most vehicles. he’s saying it’s crazy to make more power than a hellcat without even trying
Great job on power! Can't wait to see more on this beast!
Thank you
Waiting for next update. .
Can't wait to finally see this thing in the foxbody
Need a built turnkey blown 7.3 to replace that blown 4.6 wide motor they gave me back in 03. Thinking about a new fender badge. How 'bout a Cobra wrapped around Godzilla?
Godzilla with a cobra tongue
Definitely looking forward to seeing this in the coupe ..very informative 👏
