Upgrading a 2023 Ford 7.3L Godzilla for an EASY 600+HP - Engine Power S11, E12

[@MSparks9509]

I’ve got a 7.3 Godzilla in my 24’ F350 Tremor. Drove a deleted 14’ 6.7 Powerstroke F250 for 10 years. The Godzilla isn’t a diesel but it tows everything I need just fine. On flat ground towing 10K pounds it’ll hold 10th gear at 70. Pretty impressive performance. No issues maintaining 65-70 towing 10K through the Appalachian mountains. It’s a very solid gas engine, I have no regrets switching from a diesel to this engine. For my 25% towing miles a year it’s perfect.

[@racytech8068]

Everyone who compares gas vs diesel always forgets one big factor. The gassers don't get the turbo every modern diesel has. If they did, we would be having a different conversation about power. If ford made a 5.0 or 7.3 ecoboost for truck applications we could see some big torque numbers too.

​​@@bmstyleeexcept 1/4 mile times don't lie 70 and 78 400 Firebrid ran the same time with the 70 quoted at 400hp and the 78 at 200hp. Gross Hp rating was total BS and is what was used prior to 72. Air conditioned air, race exhaust, race headers and no accessories (meaning no water pump/fan or alternator/generator). If you want to use gross Hp on "modern" engine the 89-95 Thunderbird SC (3.8 v6 Supercharged) would be over 400gross Hp. As you add the hp back in that it takes to run the supercharger.

You are trying to compare an abysmal smog choked era of engines to a modern powerplant that relies on computers and sensors. If the oil embargo hadn't happened and the EPA hadn't been overbearing, we'd have seen big power from the 70s-80s. Your comment shows your ignorance. It's no secret anymore that 429s,427s, 440s were all capable of 500+ hp back in the late 60s and early 70s, OEMs kept power down due to insurance concerns and targeting young male buyers.

[@leftventricle3]

I find the fact that the engine made all that extra power while running all the accessories (baseline did not) pretty impressive.

[@MrSGL21]

no shit. 610 hp and spinning the water pump, power steering and alternator. 90% of these engines they play with have no accessories. this motor is making close to 700hp gross with intake, headers, and cam. wow.

[@jaden.sanderson]

@@HansShackleford i’m sorry, but I have a hard time believing an AC compressor will suck up 38 hp. If you told me the air conditioning was on, I would believe it could take up to 38 hp, but in this video they had the compressor clutch unlocked and it was basically acting like an idler pulley on the dyno

[@JViello]

@@jaden.sanderson I agree and will take it one step further. Energy is energy...watts, HP etc is a way to measure it. One HP is = to 750 watts. (Forgetting efficiency loss for a minute.) A 12,000 BTU AC unit takes about 1300 watts. That's about 1.7 horsepower. For fun, lets triple it. 36,000 BTU enough to cool a HOUSE is about 6hp. (4500w) Even if it was 10hp that's cooling a HOUSE, lets get real. If that AC compressor was using up 38hp it was almost seized and being forced to spin at best.

When it came out, I joked on FB that I was going to put one in my Crown Vic and instantly got haters saying it would never work, its a truck motor; all the typical crap. Also, I believe the power difference in the stock config is due to the fact that the stock ECU doesnt use power enrichment. So if the Holley does enrichment and adds timing then you are instantly going to get a decent power bump.

[@rheashawn]

For people looking at the 7.3 swap. As a heads up from a former Ford truck mechanic (now semi mechanic), these motors eat lifters if idled for long durations. In 6 months before I left, I replaced 7 motors all due to lifters being destroyed. All vehicles were either rv's/buses and all under 40k miles. I believe the idle oil pressure is only 8psi if I recall from factory

The biggest turn off about this engine for me was the chain driven oil pump, Holley is awesome for making their parts for this engine 💯

What's wrong with a chain-driven oil pump? The chains never break, and it's not like you need it in time like a timing chain. You never hear about the chain being a problem in things like the Honda K that turn 9 grand in built applications. I think the bigger problem with the oil pump is the variable volume and computer control, which gives it insufficient idle pressure for commercial long-idle applications.

[@JETZcorp]

A shootout between a Ford 6.8 Triton and a Dodge 8.0 Magnum would be awesome! Both of those engines come MASSIVELY detuned from the factory, and there should be good gains on the table, even with limited parts availability. The Dodge in particular was deliberately nerfed because the 47RE transmission was only rated for 450lb of torque (for the 12V Cummins at the time) and the first prototype V10 using the already-mild 5.9 compression and cam specs was blowing them up.

[@brontantwoord7266]

The problem is zero aftermarket for either

[@JETZcorp]

@brontantwoord7266 It's not zero. You won't find a catalog of CNC ported heads, but you can get cams and headers. Both engines also have significant V8 overlap, so pistons and rods and rockers and valves and all that can be sourced from Mopar LA or 5.4 Mod Motor V8 applications. Add some elbow grease with the Dremel to do some hand porting and port-matching, and you can really unlock a ton of power. Not 800, but plenty to really wake up a truck.

[@MrJak427]

This engine was designed to replace that V10 so probably best they stick with the current engine hype

[@andrewrife6253]

I imagine that's going to be reliable power, too. They really overbuilt the internals of the 7.3 with materials used in diesels, so you could add boost to it if you really wanted to. That said, a reliable engine with good interchangeability and more than enough power (even stock numbers impress me, given what the 6.8 v10 or the 460 were doing in trucks). I'm curious about how doing the balancer and oil pump/pan alone to a stock truck would do for long-term reliability. In a sea of small boosted engines that are having reliability issues in American usage, it's nice to see something that will attempt to stand up. Seeing a chain on the oil pump instead of a belt was at least a good sight, though I shouldn't say that too loud because ford has a hard-on for wet belts lately and the (maybe) 1hp "gain" they might provide.

That displacement could be up around 700-800 crank. I guess the cylinder heads are choking that thing out.

looks beautiful. It would look amazing in my 84 mustang.

Great channel great video thank y’all please don’t use adjustable wrenches (ANYWHERE) specially on crank snouts and key ways you have proper options even self made proper options.

[@chrishotrod6603]

Definitely considering putting godzilla in my foxbody

[@jasonscales2522]

GM L8T next!

[@davidmiller4594]

Kaase has been building 1000hp 429 bbf normally aspirated. Would love to see you guys tear this apart and see what it takes, parts/cost to get this to 1000hp n/a.

That oil pump "contraption" looks like they took inspiration from the 2.7 ecoboost

[@Robie302]

Wow such a masterpiece of an engine. Beautiful work gentlemen. I'm curious how much would this set up cost ???

[@micks209]

5K for parts not including the long block itself.

[@cocanuts1968]

solid power numbers indeed. but thats a lot of upgrading for the same torque numbers. pretty big camshaft I know usually doesnt do torque any favors. but all in all cool engine

I bet Richard Holdener is salivating right now!

[@bri-manhunter2654]

He’s a national treasure

[@tambosnipes1652]

Tjat impressive 502 hp for a 7.3l is amazing

[@JohnThomas-vb9se]

I like the new stuff and I’m a Ford guy, but I can build a 650 HP N/A, pump gas 408 Windsor in my garage for less money. I understand most guys can’t, so that’s where swap stuff comes into play, but I’m just not entirely sold on this platform yet.

[@MrJak427]

The block crank and heads stock vs stock the godzila wins hands down no comparison but I hear you on the price point. This engine is on another level compared to the Windsor castings which will hopefully give it a good life in the performance industry years to come
