That was the original F250 engine intake, that Ford mocked up in the GT350. That’s why it was turned upward…now they have modified and made the correct intake manifold to fit a car. The engine is close to the dimensions of a 351 Windsor, with a slightly taller deck height. It will fit in any Ford car with a small block. @REVan Evan is in the process of installing one in his ‘68 Mercury Cyclone as we speak.

6:10 The intake "comes like that" because the 7.3 was made for the super duty. The engine sits so low in the super duty engine bay, they had to angle the intake upwards to reach the intake box, very similar to what is seen in the F150 with the 5.0 at 4:02. They literally took a super duty engine and stuck it in the S550 chassis, without modifying the motor. Ford Performance later came out with a "straight" intake manifold that can be purchased separately as seen in 1:47. Believe it or not, some people have seen a small loss of torque but decent hp gains by using the straight intake manifold.
7.3 megazilla in a mustang sounds awesome. Be interested to know how the extra power and torque causes chassis twist and affects the cars structure and the drive train.
If that keep that in the s550 shell and change that cowl hood to a forced induction hood to make it sleeker, I’m totally behind this new beast…now FORD is getting it right!!!!….oh and those 700 Hp trucks are amazing. Better late than never!!!!
Cool motor, but I hope they don't put this in the s650 from the factory. I get you can tune it easily. But beyond that, I don't see how a heavy, bulky slow reving truck engine that probably has a redline below 7k is a good fit for the mustang. Maybe for some 200k track only Cobra jet, but that's about it.
@@l3wn3ytun3z4 7.3 weights 580 pounds (estimated, Ford has not released the official numbers), 5.2 is 534 pounds. Also the 5.2 being a flat plane it can reach those crazy RPMs which will delivery the power much fast than the 7.3.
I've heard people tuning these puppies upwards of 600 hp. crazy. I wanted to build a factory 5 cobra and throw one of these in there but I might do a 5.2 voodoo instead cause I love the sound of the flat plane. plus it's rated 500 hp+ which is plenty for a lighter car.
Very cool things coming from Ford... BUT... are we going to ignore, at 6:25 in this vid, the 2 farmer's tan brothers? The one guy was glowing! LOL!!!!!
Tired of the GT500… you should never be allowed to drive a FORD again! The GT500 is the one, the flagship, the goat… bet you have owned a Subaru at some point in your life
@@DikeLover no car knowledge? Please tell me where I’m wrong. Just because that “truck motor” is heavier…. Yet it’s putting out over 6xx hp vs a coyotes what? 480hp. I highly doubt the little extra weight will be a issue! Plus that “truck motor”, they state it makes excellent power from 2k….. can’t really say that with a coyote! But…. I’m just a guy that “don’t know cars” according to you….
To be honest I don't see a 7.3L Godzilla V8 on future S650 Mustangs. So this 7.3L Godzilla V8 is pretty much a concept, Ford will most likely keep using 5.0L Coyote V8 with little bump up horsepowers for their future S650 Mustang models, or the 5.2 Predator V8 for S650 GT500
Why would Ford go backwards to a 2 valve push rod motor that would never pass emissions in a passenger car? That motor is a boat anchor and a very good truck motor. Just look at the 427 ci zo6 motor that makes less power than the 5.2 voodoo motor. Ford will never put a pushrod motor in a car again period! If we are lucky Ford may wake up and make a twin turbo V8 eco boost GT500 that makes at least 900 hp , but most likely we will get a hybrid of some sort and hopefully it will make a combined 900 hp. Now that Dodge set the bar at 1025 hp how does Ford top that? Most likely they won’t give that they cam out with a 700 hp Raptor to compete with the TRX 702 hp Hemi.
All of the sports cars are moving towards transaxles set ups… I could see this but it would have to be a aluminum block and blower as well for it to be a cobra or gt500
At least two cylinders extend past the shock mounts, and this means forget about balanced handling of any sort. If you dont have the chassis then forget about stuffing a bigger motor into it.
Imo they should’ve done this for the dark horse. I liked that the Shelby cars had their own unique engine, makes it worth the extra cash vs another mustang. Not a fan of a specialty car with a truck engine.
I heard someone saying the 700 package isn’t available on a long box, but only because of the stickers aren’t long enough at the moment. I’m sure they’ll fix that. Also, they’ve supposedly done a Godzilla intake with the throttle body mounting plate facing forward. It just hadn’t been made when the built the test car.
Perhaps keep the predator in the gt500, voodoo with FI while keeping it flat plane, and a cobra with the 7.3 megazilla! The aluminator engine or whatever can be used to revive the fusion and put the st name but kind of doubtful. It can be used in the explorer st and explorer st? Idk would be a dope trio and overall lineup but I'm more toyota so I'm not too knowing of what ford's engines are in terms of what's newer and what's going out.
hey next time you get to ask someone from ford something ask them why they don't put the reg 5.0 v8 in the bronco we want that as a option in all the trim levels that's all im saying so frustrating
I don't see Ford putting the iron-block truck engine in the Mustang. I'd love to see a destroked 7.0L aluminum-block version, though. The engine probably wouldn't weigh any more than the Coyote, and would have more power. Win, win.
If Ford takes that 7.3L Megazilla engine or 5.2L Aluminator engine and pairs it with electric motors, it could be a winner in the new GT500 or Cobra Mustang.
@Twilight Media Just have electric motors power the front wheels, and that will significantly decrease 0-to-60 times and 60 ft times. GM is already using this recipe in the new C8 Corvette E Ray (6.2L pushrod V8 paired with electric motors) that's coming out for 2024. If Ford is smart, they do the same to stay competitive.
Not gonna lie i wanna stick this in a school bus... BlueBird already puts the 7.3 (the derated version from the F700) in their BlueBird Vision after Ford axed the V10.
I was the that 5.2 sooooo bad. I have a gen 2 engine I’m building right now…gonna be a copy of the 5.2 just with out the displacement and a few of the good stuff lol.
Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. if you want a quarter mile Red Eye, buy one. if you want a big screen TV jammed into a Camaro, buy the s650. Most of us want overall performance, reliability and a warranty. Mach 1 all day long baby.
The lifters have been fixed. BTW the lifters on the GM 6.2s had the sane issues. Weird it’s almost like they are getting lifters from the sane supplier.

HEY STANGMODE!...DO YOU KNOW IF THE 7.3 V8 CREATE MOTOR WITH 615HP/640TORQUE N/A AVAILABLE FOR SALE BY FORD PERFORMANCE AND WILL A SHELBY GT500 DTC OR A 10SP 10R80 AUTO TRANS WILL FIT A 69 MUSTANG? ALSO, I HAD A 66 MUSTANG COUPE I WAS WONDERING DO YOU THINK THE FORD PERFORMANCE 5.2 ALUMINATER 580HP N/A MOTOR WOULD FIT?...I AM JUST SAYING!...GOD BLESS AMERICA! 😇
It closes. Thats why they had to make that ugly hood scoop on top. Im not sure if the same exact car or a different model. But it was already spotted awhile ago driving with that cowl hood. Meaning they was testing this engine
615 is nice but the motor is heavier than the coyote and to make decent power you gotta build up the motor with cams and what not so to me imo the coyote is still superior
It would be cool, but I doubt they’ll do such a build coming from the factory. They’ll just sell the kit perhaps but that’s as far as they’ll probably go.
Why would Ford go backwards to a pushrod engine? Notice what Chevrolet did with the Corvette. They with with a DOHC motor. Hope Ford KEEPS the same GT500 motor, just make the car lighter and have the car where it can be tuned.
why don’t they bring back the terminator …with the same design with slight changes…that’s manual …I feel like the markings on the car should have a horse 🐎 with a snake wrapped around the Horse after the horse has been bittinnn by the snake 🐍 Why not drop the 7.3L in that ? Or maybe new motor ideas for this idea 💡 AND call it the “ Mustang Cobra Snake Bite “ Or “Mustang Cobra 🐍 Terminator Snake Bite “
Ford is the best. Period. I've had many cars but my Fords always let me run them the longest. Easiest to fix because Ford is rather practical. And the engines run a long time. GMC engines run a long time too I will admit tho. America ingenuity really does stand the test of time.......other car makers constantly have to remodel for a reason.
I don't see that being in a GT500. Not at all. I'm not saying they won't put in a mustang. I just don't see them calling a new mustang with a 7.3 a GT500 but rather a GT7**
I looked on the Ford build site, and couldn't find any way that you could get the 7.3 in the Mustang. Maybe you can get it in an F150? Also, what happened to the EcoBoost 5.5L? That was supposed to be a game changer. I'm going to the Oshkosh Air Show in July. I sure hope Ford is there again. They were a no show last year.
From what ive read, the engine fits in just about any mustang as the 5.0s were pretty big to begin with dimension wise. Only problem is the angled intake to manifold. Some dude already threw one of these 7.3s into his s197. I think he may have modded his hood someway to make it work tho. His channel is on youtube and should be one of the first things that pops up.
Only thing Ford needs to do now is make more budget cars. I had to buy a Subaru with a manual (which I wanted a manual) because I could not find a Maverick (with AWD, FX4, & Lariat), Bronco (with manual and Sasquatch), or Bronco Sport (with 2.0L). Aside from that, this Mustang looks very nice and am betting it will be in the six figure range which counts me out unfortunately. Me sad :(
The Raptor R has a big ass supercharger sitting on top of the 5.2. "Megazilla" makes north of 600hp, naturally aspirated. Much more reliable power supercharged. And it's so heavy because it was designed as a workhorse engine. It was built to take a lot of stress, and can handle much more power than the 5.2.
There is no way ford is going to release that high ass intake on a production mustang, won't pass pedestrian protection regs, looks daft and the hood scope opens up a shed load of problems .
You're late to the party. Everyone knows the engine in the 350 is a stock godzilla and was only built as a test mule for the manual control pack. That is the only reason that car exists. Ford has never planned to offer a zilla powered mustang off the showroom floor.
I wish ford would offer the 7.3 godzilla in the f150, don't get me wrong I love the 5.0 coyote that's in my f150 but if a 7.3 was in a f150, the 7.3 would pull the f150 like nothing.

The 7.3 would prob save Ford a bunch of money over the predator.
It won't make more power than the zilla once the blower is added.. 7.3 is huge displacement and instant never ending power.

HEY STANGMODE!...DO YOU KNOW IF THE 7.3 V8 CREATE MOTOR WITH 615HP/640TORQUE N/A AVAILABLE FOR SALE BY FORD PERFORMANCE AND WILL A SHELBY GT500 DTC OR A 10SP 10R80 AUTO TRANS WILL FIT A 69 MUSTANG?
ALSO, I HAD A 66 MUSTANG COUPE I WAS WONDERING DO YOU THINK THE FORD PERFORMANCE 5.2 ALUMINATER 580HP N/A MOTOR WOULD FIT?...I AM JUST SAYING!...GOD BLESS AMERICA! 😇
We all know ford will never put the 7.3 in a production stang no way no how thats not how they operate anymore
How does the hood shut doesn't look like it can
It closes. Thats why they had to make that ugly hood scoop on top. Im not sure if the same exact car or a different model. But it was already spotted awhile ago driving with that cowl hood. Meaning they was testing this engine
They need to bring back the cobra and put that in the cobra so ford would have a track based car and a drag based car
615 is nice but the motor is heavier than the coyote and to make decent power you gotta build up the motor with cams and what not so to me imo the coyote is still superior
I think the gt500 should stay with predator, but Ford should make a New "boss" series with that megazilla
Kinda makes you think. Electric cars? nah.........Gotta love the sound and the car both.
I truly believe Ford will take that 7.3 and use it to build a BOSS 429 mustang.
It would be cool, but I doubt they’ll do such a build coming from the factory. They’ll just sell the kit perhaps but that’s as far as they’ll probably go.
I do hope they come out with one. I hope I am wrong lol
How about a 500 cubic inch GT500? Getting close with the 7.3
Why would Ford go backwards to a pushrod engine? Notice what Chevrolet did with the Corvette. They with with a DOHC motor. Hope Ford KEEPS the same GT500 motor, just make the car lighter and have the car where it can be tuned.
I want to see the 7.3 super charged
A youtube channel had one tested with a blower. It put out over 1000 HP. JoAnn
why don’t they bring back the terminator …with the same design with slight changes…that’s manual …I feel like the markings on the car should have a horse 🐎 with a snake wrapped around the Horse after the horse has been bittinnn by the snake 🐍
Why not drop the 7.3L in that ?
Or maybe new motor ideas for this idea 💡
AND call it the “ Mustang Cobra Snake Bite “
Or “Mustang Cobra 🐍 Terminator Snake Bite “
Ford is the best. Period. I've had many cars but my Fords always let me run them the longest. Easiest to fix because Ford is rather practical. And the engines run a long time. GMC engines run a long time too I will admit tho. America ingenuity really does stand the test of time.......other car makers constantly have to remodel for a reason.
FP700 package with a warranty ? Oh yeah.. very cool. 💪👊
I don't see that being in a GT500. Not at all. I'm not saying they won't put in a mustang. I just don't see them calling a new mustang with a 7.3 a GT500 but rather a GT7**
Gt 500 with less hp?
Gt350 but yes still with less hp
I looked on the Ford build site, and couldn't find any way that you could get the 7.3 in the Mustang. Maybe you can get it in an F150? Also, what happened to the EcoBoost 5.5L? That was supposed to be a game changer. I'm going to the Oshkosh Air Show in July. I sure hope Ford is there again. They were a no show last year.
From what ive read, the engine fits in just about any mustang as the 5.0s were pretty big to begin with dimension wise. Only problem is the angled intake to manifold. Some dude already threw one of these 7.3s into his s197. I think he may have modded his hood someway to make it work tho. His channel is on youtube and should be one of the first things that pops up.
Lol at all the people who still think ford is gonna put a 7.3 in production mustang. Stang mode was pushing this too.
So what's year is the new body style? This body looked like the 21
Ford should have never walked away from the pushrod engines.
Only thing Ford needs to do now is make more budget cars. I had to buy a Subaru with a manual (which I wanted a manual) because I could not find a Maverick (with AWD, FX4, & Lariat), Bronco (with manual and Sasquatch), or Bronco Sport (with 2.0L). Aside from that, this Mustang looks very nice and am betting it will be in the six figure range which counts me out unfortunately. Me sad :(
They come out with the coolest supercharged truck ever, the year AFTER, I buy a new truck! FML😂
You can have that package installed on 21 and up f150s
What's the point, heavier with less power than the 5.2 in the Raptor R...
The Raptor R has a big ass supercharger sitting on top of the 5.2. "Megazilla" makes north of 600hp, naturally aspirated. Much more reliable power supercharged. And it's so heavy because it was designed as a workhorse engine. It was built to take a lot of stress, and can handle much more power than the 5.2.
Can you imagine if Ford make a mid engined GT500 with the 7.3L?
There is no way ford is going to release that high ass intake on a production mustang, won't pass pedestrian protection regs, looks daft and the hood scope opens up a shed load of problems .
Could the King of the Road be back? I'd be excited.
Ford need to make the Godzilla it's separate car and put the Godzilla badge🦖 on it...
I'm cool with the Alluminator. Less cubic inches pushed and almost as much power as the Zilla.
You're late to the party. Everyone knows the engine in the 350 is a stock godzilla and was only built as a test mule for the manual control pack. That is the only reason that car exists. Ford has never planned to offer a zilla powered mustang off the showroom floor.
7.3 pushrod > 5.0 DOHC. Pushrod always wins. Just ask GM with their even better LS/LT motors.
Fords always have done these kinds of thing, just never made them public!!
Hope they fix the coil problem that the 7.3 have
Thats crazy😮💨Great video🔥🔥
I cant see the 7.3 beating the 5.2😊
I wish ford would offer the 7.3 godzilla in the f150, don't get me wrong I love the 5.0 coyote that's in my f150 but if a 7.3 was in a f150, the 7.3 would pull the f150 like nothing.
A big block back in a mustang. That would be great. Just need more power.
There has to be a way to make that good look better
Isn’t on3 already a company??
