Awesome modern powertrain 7.3L Godzilla V8 installed on this classic F150 truck

I love this truck! That is a sick build. Would be a great street cruiser and do some occasional 1/8 lth mile "Mexico hits"

Very awesome build, what a N/A torque monster, very cool old truck with modern drive train, doesn't get any better.

I'm definitely digging the truck as a whole, "Big Block" Ford backed by a T56 Magnum and a Moser 9" with full QA1 suspension? What's not to like? Especially in a "patina'd" truck.... only thing I'd personally change is the wheels to US Wheels' steel 17x9 & 17x10's, probably eggshell, with the stock F150 center caps and some good meaty street tires.... keep the vintage look but be able to run the big brakes and better tires. Other than that, I don't understand what's going on with that exhaust exactly, care to elaborate? I see the headers come out, the driver's side cross over to run parallel with the passenger side run, X pipe, then either a driver's side resonator or bullet muffler with nothing matching on the passenger side, then further down there's a large, what seems to be valved muffler for the passenger side and again, nothing on the driver's side in it's place, then all I can see is tailpipe runs.... what do you guys have going on back there and my OCD is definitely spiking with whatever it is 😅🤣

I'm trying to do this 7.3 Godzilla swap in 2018 Ecoboost Mustang with a 10R80 auto transmission. Currently I'm stuck figuring out the power pack wiring to allow everything to work with the transmission and the ford systems. Do you have any pointers?

[@BrenspeedEngineering]

If you have a FRPP 10R control pack and wiring they have instructions. I have never seen a control pack easier to install every wire says where it goes. Here is a link to download the instructions. performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-6017-73A The FRPP instructions says its for 10R140 not sure if it works on 10R80. If you are trying to install this without knowing if the control packs works on 10R80 if it is for a 10R140 I would pause until you find out. These trans can be crazy even the same 10R80 sometimes will not work in a certain car if the year does not match even though it originally had a 10R80.

[@bandit_1683]

Wow, it's this possible on a 1989 Bronco?

[@victoryLeo1]

Yes

[@BrenspeedEngineering]

With swaps pretty much anything is possible

I need to know what the mpg is on a Godzilla swap

[@BrenspeedEngineering]

To many variables to say. Depending on what you swap it in, gearing, drivetrain loss, etc.... To be honest we have never had anybody that did any sort of engine swap ask that because that is the least of their concerns. BUT it wouldnt be the same on all swaps as many factors play a role.

[@efrainalvarez4481]

How much does it cost to build that?

[@BrenspeedEngineering]

Depends on what a person wants. You have engine, trans, computer, wiring, cooling, rear end, suspension, gauges, driveshaft, fuel system, brakes, wheels, etc... the list never ends. At least 60K for something like this maybe more. You can do it cheaper, or more, depends on what all parts you want and every single build is different. THANKS
