7.3 Godzilla grows up, godzilla mega thread, godzilla performance development thread TRUCK ENGINE GOES BRRRRRRRRR

[Chester Copperpot]

And not that the resident idiot is going to watch this video or read anything posted about it, the engine is 25.5“ wide and 24” long. 2.5" slimmer and 2” shorter than his holy grail Coyote.

I'm not real impressed with the initial specs of this engine, but it's a bit early to say if it's going to be a flop or huge success. You can't even order one yet. If you went to your local Ford dealer to buy one in a super duty, you still most likely won't be able to buy one.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

You've been able to order since Nov IIRC. They just weren't getting to dealers until January.

Geee Mr Resident Idiot....... It sure in the fuck isnt shorter in height with that massive bolt together intake manifold and even with that massive intake it makes less hp than a 600hp NA coyote with a ported CJ manifold......

Back to the drawing board guess it needs more cam and a better intake manifold to get over the 600hp mark?

Not impressed.

7.3 GODZILLA = farm truck / tow engine





But - we like the challenge of modifying it to a “RACECAR” engine

You still can't just go buy one. There was supposedly some issue with the valve guides or something and Ford had to replace a bunch of engines in them.

Who would have guessed this thread would have gotten this much action?

 

[Chester Copperpot]

So what you're saying is that Ford is already worlds better than GM regarding their LS7 debacle?

 

[GTPpower]

Hopefully.


The closest 7.3 I can find is about 50 miles away. But they are finally out there now.

Not the OP.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Its no longer LS vs Coyote arguments.

It's Ford vs Ford. 7.3 boat anchor vs god's gift to existence Coyote perfection.

I can build an 800 NA Coyote motor for next to nothing.

A big pushrod engine with valveguide issues? Hmm sounds alot like an ls7

There are 600hp NA Hondas bro. Dont act like its impossible. But yes it aint going to be cheap.

 

[greasy]

I can build 5 - 600HP NA Coyotes for the cost of building a single 600HP 7.3 Godzilla motor.

Shit - just swap a stock, sealed Coyote in a 2600 lbs foxbody and run 9s.

Wait, that’s been done multiple times. Must stay focused...

I dont see why our resident coyote nutswinger is getting all bent outta shape. Once a swap kit comes out it wont be any different then a coyote swap kit, plus once these motors have been out long enough im sure they will be the same price from the pick n pull as a coyote. Modding them will most likely be cheaper because its not a modular, so it sounds like a win to me
