We are the first to try the all-new Ford Performance 7.3L Godzilla intake manifold in a direct comparison against a stock truck intake. And we show you all the details that make this a great option for any swap.

As a car guy I like how Ford is stepping back in time with this engine. Looks a lot easier to work on than the coyote engines and just looks cool. When the speed parts aftermarket catches up this will be a nearly unbeatable and probably reliable engine..

@@PureCountryof91 I'm happy it never ended up in the mustang chassis from factory. You wouldnt be able to go pick up used running 6.2 sohc engines from the junkyard for pennies on the dollar compared to a 5.0 coyote like you can today. Used f series 6.2s go for under 2k typically while used f series coyotes are usually about 3-5k simply because the mustang crowd uses the parts. Ive even seen wrecked raptor longblocks go for as little as $1400 so they very much are a gem for the money. Something you simply wouldnt ever find if it was a common mustang engine because people would have already jumped on them. Much was the same with the early 4v mod motors. People jumped on them across all makes and models for many years skyrocketing the price back in the day.

Fantastic that you're handed a prototype low profile intake for the 7.3 Godzilla from Ford Performance for your personal testing. That shows me how much respect Ford has for you. Outstanding informative video Rev'n. With the V8 in the sights of our government. What do you feel the use of the engine will be. Personally. It's looking like it will not be offered in a vehicle. So I'm guessing crate engine builds only. One thing that confuses me is why with all the Ford fans on U-Tube. You don't have 5x or higher the subs you currently have.
