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
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.
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.
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.
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’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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
@@TqSNv9R0iG5Ckxew 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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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. !

@@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.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
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.

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 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?
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 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
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 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?
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
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.
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
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.

@@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.
Great Informative Video!!
Looking forward to seeing those swaps on this channel in the future!!
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?
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..
Seems control pack and headers are the only things missing as of today.
You thinking of godzilla swapping your new 4 eyed coupe project?
I'd rather swap a Barra into a fox than the 7.3. It would be just as hard to buy parts.
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.
Awesome engine for the price But like the 2v we're limited on aftermarket go fast parts...
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
I believe the 7.3 is the same dimensions as the 5.7 modular engine. Roughly same weight.
Great video
maybe when the 6.7 version arrives in a couple years it will be more available than the 7.3...
*6.8
That is so sick. Thanks for sharing. 🤟
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.
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
Great video.
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...
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?
A lot of people want something other than a diesel because of def issue
DEF is def gay
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
Some used the 5.0 harness with few wire modification
I’d love to put one in the 97 Tbird I just bought.
Good information brother 👍🏾
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!
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
Also I’ve seen the oil pan is massive and hangs very low in a mustang.
Everyone take a shot every time this dude rubs his hands
Harrop makes a supercharger they pulled 1000 hp and never broke a single item.
i seen this in a crown vic.. so good
Can't wait 👍🚦🚗💨🏁 Keep it coming
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..
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
I'm swapping it into my Lincoln town car for sure. The torque should get 4500 lbs moving. 😆🤣🤣
Godzilla swap LT Dan.
I'll sell you a 7.3 Godzilla right now for $45k...it comes with a truck
How is this better than the 385 series?
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.
If you can’t wait for Ford, Obrcontrolsystems makes a control pack for $3,550...
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
Better buy a crate Godzilla before Ford jacks the price up!
That wire hanging from the ceiling made me think there was a pube stuck on the edge of my screen...
More money to make less power from more cubes. Oh ya, tons of people are going to be swapping these in.....
Paul been doing a lot
There guy doing one in the driveway in s197
I wanna swap my Mustang a slap a Whipple on that big boy!
I don't see any advantage over a stroked Windsor, honestly.
You should put the Godzilla in the LTD
Keep it in America.
I'll take 1 of those 8000 plus dollar engines and stick it in my 500 dollar 77 f150
to me its not worth it cuz the LS7 has 505hp, sure t costs double but i'd expect at least 500hp for this 7.3, not 400hp..
Keep in mind, this is a truck engine..
@@patpatcertifiedracing5521 true that, still a nice engine that costs half of an LS7.. I wonder how much hp it can handle 🤔??
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
Hahahahah i said this shit in the last video and here we are! So glad you heard me ;)
That stance. Got specs?
Haltech enough said .
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.
Good content !
