That's what Blaine Ramey and Paul's High Performance in Jackson, Michigan were able to achieve with a factory-sealed 7.3-liter. Aside from an OBR Control Systems ECU and calibration, the S197 Cobra Jet's engine has zero real modifications. It's hooked up to a Turbo 400 transmission with a 4,500-rpm stall, helping it to start its run near full-power.
The team who built it claims dyno numbers of 500 horsepower and 500 pound-feet at the crank; from the factory, Ford rates the 7.3-liter at 430 horsepower and 475 pound-feet. These are moderate increases that are sure to climb as they install an upgraded intake, camshafts and headers but, for now, they're running stock Super Duty hardware. Pretty impressive when you think about it.
With a driver, the Cobra Jet weighs 3,280 pounds. Roughly 540 of those pounds can be attributed to the 7.3-liter crate engine—that's about 100 more than a traditional Coyote V8 build.
