This will change the sales order for the 7.3 tremendously. Now people can use this intake and a stock 7.3 and put twin turbos on it!!! Thanks Ford Performance engineering!!!!
It seems like swapping the cam/springs, adding headers and this intake is all that's needed for a stout street/track package. Now we need these engines to show up in the salvage yards. Thanks Evan and Brian.
I worked at Ford and saw MANY gen 1 ecoboosts over 300k miles with stock components. Granted, most of the are on half tons and don't tow much if we are being honest. The Ecoboost is a hit or miss. Some people have a ton of issues, others beat theirs to the ground it doesn't care. That said, I'd want a Godzilla over an Ecoboost any day.
Broke 200k with my 3.5l 17' F150. Constantly towing 2 different trailers, both range from 5,000lb to 7500lb-ish. I think most people are not being honest about their usage and how little they do to take care of their vehicles. Sure, going to be some bad batches, 2015 Chevy 6.2l High Country blew up on me 30k miles in, warrantied the work with another 3k miles put on and just didn't feel confident. Sold it and haven't looked back.
@@ec3886 Exactly what I saw at Ford. Most people do not do the maintenance that they should. Especially on a turbo engine, lack of maintenance will lead to issues.
Really enjoy these videos! Great info as always and is great to see Ford produce this intake that addresses the issue with the throttle body angle. Can't wait to get one of these on a customer's vehicle and dial it in on the dyno!
Thanks! Evan &Brian for doing this will definitely improve performance with cam and heads. How about doing and other video with the prototype Ford plenum on a stock 7.3 Godzilla.🍺💪👍🇨🇦
Very impressive Evan and Brian! I have to get a 7.3L for my 67 Mustang Gt and nix the 460 boat anchor currently in her. I hope the Godzilla can bolt up to my built C-6. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Motown/Dearborn.
@@mikealbert728 Thanks Mike! So I might have to swap out the C-6 and replace it for a trans that fits the 7.3L it sounds like. ? Will do some research and see what I need to do. Cheers from Motown.

The 7.3L I have seen for yrs at work. It reminds me of another engine platform, a LS. Lifters under the head, 6 bolt mains, one cam shaft! Nicely done Ford. I am a believer in the LS ,Ford finally went back to a single cam engine. Congrats!
Very stoked, after seeing this prototype 3-D printed Ford Performance intake! I think my ‘95 T-Bird and my ‘07 Mustang ….Would definitely appreciate that. I Love the information, and the Awesome Dyno numbers. I Appreciate all the hard work, and the awesome content. Godzilla looks HUNGRY and READY to Destroy the competition!!!

Thank you both for the effort to expand the progress on the 7.3 Ford. 😎 Lover the Trump banner is the shop we sure need him back in office. 🇺🇸 Make America and the Ford 7.3 great. 😎
I’m so happy ford does this with their engines/trans. But, my biggest complaint: I understand building a “race car” is expensive. But I wish Ford had cheaper stuff. I could LS swap a mustang (which I would never) for way cheaper than doing something like this. I’m stuck with building a 4.6L over just swapping a 7.3. For now, at least…
I think if you bought a new LS from GM performance there is not much if any differance in cost. But as you say if you start with a junk yard engine, the 200K LS is very cost effective,
@@bigboreracing356 support sucks on the 6.2. it had fantastic potential. But it was left in a shed to rot. Ford even had a 777 version. 7.0l, 700hp, 7000rpm. They abandoned it. (HP n/a)
The reason the factory intake manifold points up is because of the superduty. The Godzilla motor is so small and sits so low that there are some hoses and the radiator shroud that gets in the way.
I was thinking it would gain 5-10hp so I was spot on. But besides the hp I was also interested in the torque department which it gained 15 ftlbs. All by just changing the angle of the throttle body. I can see truck owners upgrading to this manifold once it becomes production.

Dang, looks like I made a bad choice jumping ship from Mustang to Challenger. I had 3 stangs, but wanted more torque with their bigger engine. But now they are going all electric and Ford is going back in time and bringing back even bigger ones and I hear they may even squeeze more out of the Coyote.
Hopefully they make enough of the manifolds for them to offer them on the 7.3 crate engine packages instead of the one with the goofy throttle body angle.
Could they have made the snout about an inch shorter? Maybe in the final production version? Did it need to be long for a straighter airflow into plenum? I think the shorter the better for packaging.
Im about to buy a new F250 or 350 i dont pull alot but the 7.3 is my choice, my question is what can I do to get the most from my engine but maintain reliability , whipple, supercharger ,or chip thanks
The engine is the rough size as a FE big block between the heads and a lot higher, even a Windsor 351 the heads are touching the shock towers on a 65/66 So no way unless removing the shock towers
Probably nitrous. A 150 wet shot should do it. Although centrifical superchargers have a better linear power curve. Not sure about torque at high rpm. You usually want torque low to midrange and hp at mid and high rpm.
well behind the 8 ball to what we have already done and packaged with a 7.3 and with harrop performance building a supercharger for it - th-cam.com/video/DyeOd8cGDDE/w-d-xo.html
You alone know the results we the people only know you say it's much improved. We couldn't even get à clear view of the graph besides the fact everyone seems to make a big deal over Godzilla when truthfuly it's a big clumsy looking sci Fi looking thing. What ever happened to making big power in a small compact package with simplicity in mind rather than an engine that looks like it was designed by nasa. Technology should not compromise simplicity.
So Ford is basically playing shenanigans with that ridiculous hood bulge...when they could have easily put on that low-profile intake. Marketing at it's best?
Yes, they had that name first, and it is respected. The Ford engineering team named this engine Godzilla, no disrepsect to the Skyline. This engine came out in 2020 for your referance.

Fords mad cam in block engines longer than DOHC they don’t need to copy anyone they know what they’re doing

It is basically a LS design.
Can't believe he let you take that intake history in your hands not bad numbers either
This is great to see. Triple win for FRRP. Makes a person yearn to do a Godzilla swap.
I would love to see Bret at afs get a hold of this manifold to see what can be gained from porting it
I couldn't resist. Only ford would produce an intake so large originally; that further goes at a 45 up at the end. lol.
I'm digging the Casper manifold

That sound is insane!
Love the engine but wished they would clean it up visually. Make it look like it performs!!
Take a number
I wonder how many superduty guys will try this manifold since it’s such a easy swap with decent power increases

nice on trump pence - support from canada!
I THINK THEY SHOULD UTILIZE THAT ENGINE WITH 4 CAMS, AND 32 VALVES AND A FLAT PLANE CRANK TO BRING BACK A BOSS 429.
Putting DOHC heads of that 7.3L may make it too wide even for a truck 😂 Would be beastly tho!
I can’t wait to swap a 7.3 into one of my vehicles.
How about a follow-up vid of you installing this in my Ranger? ;-)

Screaming Zilla. Love that 7.3
Very cool video!
Ford need to make the big engine an option in the mustang, dump the 2.3 litre girl motor
Excellent as always..
Love the motor and the ability for easier maintenance. Would like to see one in a 1997-2003 F150 with stock tranny. I hate my 5.4 2V.
What’s wrong with the 2V 5.4? Things are bullet proof
Now all we need is Ford to actually product a factory 6-spd Mustang with the 7.3L
Dang, looks like I made a bad choice jumping ship from Mustang to Challenger. I had 3 stangs, but wanted more torque with their bigger engine. But now they are going all electric and Ford is going back in time and bringing back even bigger ones and I hear they may even squeeze more out of the Coyote.
What is to happen to Ford Performance with Ford closing down the ICE division to fund EV?
How about a dual intake manifold like the one in the 2023 Mustang ?
Hopefully they make enough of the manifolds for them to offer them on the 7.3 crate engine packages instead of the one with the goofy throttle body angle.
Love this engine, ready to see it kicking butt on the street and the strip!
Good numbers... Damn..
Torque curve drops rapidly. Sure doesn’t look like a big cube pushrod.

I wonder if this will fit in my FR-S....
We got one with ITBs
Seem to me that it had quite a bit of lag before it kicked in. Which means you may out run em if you don't run out of road.
What you heard was the dyna absorber holding the motor down till auto test started
Would this be a bolt on with no other mods for the superduty trucks?
I've got a legit 7 up mustang, ya think Ford will let me test one of them Godzillurs in it? Asking for a friend...
Get a "7.3-Up" logo on it!
Was the same sized throttle body used or did it have the GT500 throttle body?
Great video
Harrop solved this problem with forced induction
Wonder how it looks compared to the other manifolds?
Elephant Trunk be gone!!! 👍👍
Heck yea nice info
Should of had it turn to the driver side by the throttle body. Have alot more room for inlet tube
Anybody know if this combo fits in a 66' mustang with stock shock towers and not cutting it up?
Looks like its a rear sump where the Mustang is a front sump oil pan.
@@SargentEdgedTools wouldn’t it be sweet in a 65-66 mustang with a 5 speed manual or even the 10 spd auto. I’d like to see one in a 66 bronco 👍🏼

What the weight to power ratio ?
It didn't change the power band at all
AWSOME CONTENT AWSOME cars AWSOME shet ALOHA FROM HONOLULU BIG AL MANOA VALLEY 👌
The intake tube looks a little long, radiator issue?
Who the hell is RE-Van E-van???? Does it have something to do with electricity??????
So what cam and/or power adder would keep that torque up top, all the way across, even if it gives up torque at the very bottom?
Probably nitrous. A 150 wet shot should do it. Although centrifical superchargers have a better linear power curve. Not sure about torque at high rpm. You usually want torque low to midrange and hp at mid and high rpm.
doesn't look like the performance gain will be worth the cost. Only benefit is low profile, but at least you didn't lose hp or tq.
Bad ass
Winner winner chicken dinner.
I guess starting the dyno at 4k is now considered "low end torque"? Come on guys!!!!!
Pretty cool
