We’re going to twin-turbocharge this engine, and it’s not Diesel.

Since 1958, Gale Banks has been building and racing high-performance engines on both land and sea. He's widely considered a pioneer in turbocharging, having set numerous number world records on land and sea with turbocharged gas and Diesel engines. The new video series will see Gale return to his roots of turbocharging gas engines. Subscribe to follow along!

From the very little i can see it looks to me like it's a 7.3 godzilla.

[@oldmansyn1211]

I completely agree and I can't wait because you know Cletus is going to see it and put it in the fox body

[@ssmokinu]

I think you’re 100% right, it’s a 7.3

[@arterca]

@@ssmokinu if it is anything other than a 7.3 Godzilla I would honestly be pretty disappointed. I would love to see what Banks can do to that beast.

[@everrybody]

@@oldmansyn1211 he had one in the foxbody and kept lifting the heads off it at boost

[@oldmansyn1211]

@@everrybody i know he did, but gale makes the impossible possible, im betting he will make a Godzilla with more horsepower than what cleet did without popping the heads. Remember when hoonigans were trying for their 200mph allison camaro? gale straight dunked on them with the same setup and zero smoke with more hp and torque.

[@Hockeygeek35]

I love the fact that hes an experienced guy doing what every teenager wants to do!

[@davldpatrick446]

Does look like Ford 7.3 looking forward to it.

[@ZEEKUPP]

Looks damn good for 82. Looks like he has taken good care of himself.

[@elmayimbe_the_amateur_mechanic]

Banks!!!! Go look at Dave's last video from Utah, he used your monster intake on a Cummins and had high praises! You guys really need to get together for the culture.

[@LoneWolfSparty]

Dave said they had a meeting set up at some point in the near future on his live stream.

[@DJGRoc]

​@@LoneWolfSparty Yeah, he said it would be after Gale finishes his refresh of his shop.

[@LoneWolfSparty]

@@DJGRoc THAT is going to be a must watch video; maybe we'll get a tour of Gale's shop as an added bonus 🤌🏽

[@DJGRoc]

@@LoneWolfSparty Totally looking forward to it! 👍🏼

[@Turbo4Joe363]

Gale, Would love to see you test the limits of a bone stock 7.3 Godzilla! (Turbo'd of course) Then... let the modding begin!! Cam, Intake, Ported Heads

[@1slotmech]

It'll either run or it'll go boom. Thank you Mr Banks!

[@jaywilburn1239]

7.3L Godzilla, please! I’ve got a 2024 F250 on order and I only want a Banks intake on it. Please develop and produce that and a tune for us soon!!

[@Smalltownthings]

If I ever get a diesel it’ll be all banks products thrown in.

[@tommyholt7228]

I have a L5P Duramax and I have most of his stuff on my 2017 3500 Denali and I have nothing but Great things to say about his products! It really opens it up and lets it eat! Over 1k foot LBS of torque and over 550 plus HP. Great products for sure!

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Unless you get a 1st Gen. They don’t make anything for that anymore.😢

[@Smalltownthings]

@@tommyholt7228 jeez man that sounds like a beast! I’m jealous that’s literally my dream truck

[@Smalltownthings]

@@SmittySmithsonite that’s sad :( hate to see it, feels like I got into the car and engine scene way too late

[@SmittySmithsonite]

@@Smalltownthings never too late. Plenty of classics still to be had out there. They’re getting restored every day, and another becomes available. The prices are stupid these days but it’s money well spent, unlike anything built the past 17 years.

[@bryanhill3041]

Mr Banks um old man you kick azz! 4 real! I luv to hear you speak ! I seem to always learn something!

[@aic-gz3rz]

Whatever happened with the monster truck engine series? The playlist ended at 1200hp at dyno and needing to swap the boost setup

[@justinteller2184]

Based off the pictures of the engines shown... a ford 460 big block?

[@MacGyver2154]

I would love to see the old 460 get twin turbos

[@Skaadi89]

I hope so my old RV has a 460 that could use a lotta more power lol

[@TNfamilyfarm]

7.3 godzilla

[@markgarvey8888]

You and Ken D have been idols to me since I started my hp search as a teen. I can't wait to see your new series!

[@bankspower]

It's going to be awesome!

[@twcstransam]

Gale, even if it is a ford we understand a gear head like you and I know I'll enjoy it

[@bernardkinsky1637]

Banks for president .It would be done 110 %right.

[@1970jeepsterguy]

Ford 300 straight 6

[@tomconner5067]

My favorite underdog

[@gmanprather]

That would be fun!

[@brianwolgamot7076]

I wonder what the weak link would be on a twin turbo 300?

[@barrymonroy7138]

This man is a Pioneer

[@ddrazewski]

Love you Gail. I can't wait! Thank you for everything!

[@pai1238]

No se lo que sea pero estoy esperando cada video para seguir aprendiendo de este señor Gale Banks!

[@ColeSpolaric]

Finally the dyno cell is back!

[@Zaxby722]

Definitely the 7.3 ❤

[@13hzpodcast88]

I’m voting for Banks

[@rtrottier14]

My first intro to Mr. Banks was a multi coloured camaro with a twin turbo on it that was featured in Hot Rod Magazine. Can't wait to see what you have coming next.! hopefully turbo'ing will be a bow tie affair again soon.

[@cmsjr123]

I’m here for the sound of the turbos spooling. I care not the brand I care it good vroooooooooooooooooom And it’s got gales name on it lol

[@dylanholt1561]

Gale Banks is awesome 👌 love what he does.

[@rafaelruas1077]

Gale, tank you! Im looking forward for the new series. What about s.o.a piston test afterwards?

[@bamascubaman]

Yeah I'm definitely wanting to see his take on those & what he could do with them.

[@codyfogleman1540]

350 small block out of a corvette....one of your first products was a turbo kit for it....I could be wrong but that's my guess

[@The_Conservative_Latino]

He said GM fans will not be happy with this one

[@StrangeTerror]

​@The_Conservative_Latino probably because they're planning on testing to failure.

[@Comanchee0689]

I'm guessing it's going to be a 7.3L Ford Godzilla engine. It is pretty similar in design to an LS, which is pretty damn close to a small block. With the hint of GM guys not being happy about it, that kind of gives it away.

[@Stupid_Words]

Godbless Ya Gale

[@steveelco114]

K Boat motor from way back in the day Hurry round Hondo 👍

[@efraincortez9043]

Its a marine engine, probably an old-school Mopar product.

[@Pete90]

@bankspower can we have a dyno cell tour to finish off the cell upgrades you started last year

[@automan1223]

Chevrolet 350 twin turbo monster !! Always wanted one !!

[@dmeemd7787]

This just takes me way back to when you were on that show did you and that chromed out.. :) I’m gonna leave it at that and see if if I’m right around, but I’m excited!

[@justin-time1479]

100% solid guy

[@ONRDATA]

Whatever it is, please compound turbo charge it😂

[@TrentTheTrucker]

If its a 7.3 godzilla that would be too funny, fate some would say, my dad and i were just talking about putting one of these in my 77 F250

[@williamhardes8081]

would love to see you get your hands on one of the Aussie Barra motors and see what you think.

[@jakesux7250]

454 marine big block?

[@anthonyjulson8840]

He said gm guys won't be happy at the end. To me, that would say it probably ain't a gm engine.

[@Shomare100]

I daze at the option of a Viper V10. Though, that engine probably isn’t from their roots, but would be something!

[@REDLINEBECKONZ]

Has to be a coyote...

[@Sackmatters]

He said back to our roots. It’s nothing with a OHC.

[@dean6824]

Big future plans? The new cummins gas engine would be a good market

[@evil_me]

B/RB Mopar?

[@thewitt76]

Godzilla go BOOOM

[@Freedome-h9z]

Old school is always the best . I love this guy so much thanks sir!

Small block Chevy. 2nd Gen old school.

[@tdotw77]

Must not have heard the end huh? Watch & listen to last few seconds....

[@kenbourekas420]

It’s got to be a hemi

[@charlesperkins7746]

It's a ford flathead v8

[@jamesdell332]

I mean that would be going back Ford's roots. 🤷‍♂️

[@user-nk4ol9fd3n]

That would be stupid

[@DavidB7474]

Maybe it’s the 427 small block project from 5 years ago with twin turbos, the project that never got finished. Like to see a built twin turbo small block stomp the crap out of all the LS bs.

[@kaleb5426]

Do the ford barra from Australia you will be pleased with its performance

[@kyleweaver7900]

Looks like a 7.3 Godzilla. If yall need a test vehicle for it, I’ve got an f150 that would be prefect for a 7.3 swap

[@daviddroescher]

The og 6,7,or 800hp( fuel grade dependent) parallel turbo 90's $60k 400ci

[@danmanthe9335]

I'd love it if Gale went through my engine. Fat chance of that happening

[@charlesberry7135]

It's an old school Ford 337ci flathead v8 that would be awesome

[@nathanmaclaurin5343]

It’s either a coyote Or it’s a Godzilla

[@Athoroughgamer]

Big block 454, just like what was in the Banks Twin Turbo Trans Am GTA in '87.

[@mosquitofleetfishing6599]

Big Block LS also known as the 7.3 Godzilla, which has been beat to death already.

[@LEOhopeful]

Old Banks Sidewinder 🙏🏿🙏🏻🤞🏿🤞🏻

[@davidmurphy4263]

Can't Wait 8 - )

[@mikebell9166]

Looks like a Godzilla... maybe a gen3 hemi that lives??😂😂

[@williamgibb5557]

Gale has more power then any engine going through his shop. 82 and running like a 25 year old. I wonder what food he uses for fuel! No EVs in his shop.

[@rustywater3219]

Was gonna say hemi or cleveland, but yeah, godzilla.

[@robertmacpeek424]

Please be either an Olds 425 or a Ford Boss 429😁🙏

242/4.0L L6

[@CrivRex]

I changed my mind. When I hit the lotto, I'm getting a Banks engine.

[@roberthamilton1152]

When can we expect the first episode?

[@Ilovemyidi]

I wanna see banks do an idi lol thats like classic 80s banks power

[@DavidB7474]

Twin Turbo big block!!! Let’s go!!!

[@wesb1023]

Godzilla!!!! Gonna make some big power!!!

[@MrNeonHunter]

Coyote. Now that we’ve got that out of the way.. Any plans for Banks to start developing products for the GM 2.7L turbo platform?

[@joshjacob149]

7.3 time and that forged crank 👌

[@Mannievh]

Gail’s one sin is the constant wearing of pants that are too high. Otherwise he’s a saint

[@chalicerios1544]

I have a AMC 2.5 that’s in my jeep… strait 4 cylinder that makes 115 HP maybe at 7k above sea level here in New Mexico. I would love to see what it’s truly capable of.. could it achieve 90 horsepower per cylinder?? I bet G.Banks could do it!

[@SJNFAB]

A CHEVY 350.. 😊

[@rogerhenry7750]

I own a RV that has his name beside the Door!! The banks power pack system.

[@rogerhenry7750]

Do you know which one I'm speaking of Mr Banks?

[@rogerhenry7750]

Do you know which one I speak of Mr Banks?

[@KaosArbitrium]

Mopar Small Block? I got an '01 Magnum that I'd love to trick out...

[@AndrewHemstreet]

You showed enough that I'm certain that's a ford 7.3 gas engine, final answer

[@ace454]

7.3 godzilla, it's ok if Banks has to step in to make a Ford run like it should from the factory lol

[@brandonthefinanceguy978]

From a displacement standpoint, the biggest gas truck motor is 7.3L Godzilla, so that's my guess

[@MacGyver2154]

What about the 7.5 Ford 460 ?

[@QuicKurtZX14R]

8.1 Chevy (496 cubes)

[@robb3490]

Here I go. 3.6 liter LFX out of my Impala,

[@solofett7222]

Its the new Cummings gas engine for the new rams

[@jamesbaker9096]

You said GM fans are not going to be too proud so that only leaves two I’m gonna say between a 426 cobra jet and a 426 street hemi please be a hemi

[@FrankStein1]

Wish i had the money to have you rebuild my 04 cummins. Over 600k .. love my truck . But living on social security now doesn't give me a way to do anything anymore.

[@Grmreeper100]

Mustang 5.0 from the FoxBody.

[@christopherwebber1104]

You never killed a Duramax, big time L

[@TheBlackRose666]

If an engine explodes it's the engines fault, not gale's

[@isaacandruthruss90]

Gales first engine teardown was his mothers 31 model A, im thinking its a ford v8 flatty

[@TomBurris-um3hf]

Sweet! I bet godzilla ford. I am, currently installing an older stage 3 banks twin turbo marine set up on my friends day cruiser

[@Formerlywarmer]

Nice

[@ralphnadams]

Has to be the ford’s 7.3 gas!

[@bryanst.martin7134]

Yeah, I got my old 460 with 80k on it just looking for work. I read a detail where they got 9Krpm from a 429 Ford. I thought that was impressive. 6500r 460 would be effective.

[@user-rn7jn5cd6w]

It’s def a 5.4 Triton💀

[@beckballas2078]

It's a 632! 🔥🔥🔥

[@clintonhayes670]

I'm hoping a megazilla but a 351 windsor would be ok even a ford lima hell I'm easy.

[@danielkirby9760]

Chevy 6.6 LT v8

[@mrm8712]

Coyote or a 7.3 Godzilla. Knowing banks, the godzilla

[@JeffreyPerrault-hk6xe]

Gale says we're going back to our roots..but that could mean ALOT of things but my guess is Big block Ford.
