When Ford announced the Godzilla engine a few years ago, everyone was super excited about it, but then it seemed like it took forever for people to actually get their hands on them. That is NOT an issue anymore, with junkyard finds, and crate engine options easily accessible to the masses. In fact, you can buy a brand new Ford crate Godzilla for around $7,500 and that is without shopping much. These things are rated at 430 horsepower and 475 lb ft of torque in stock trim and there is a lot left from there. With more and more aftermarket parts coming available, the sky is the limit for this cool pushrod engine. And at 445 cubic inches, it’s got plenty of size to bring to the table. So how hard is it to make more than 600 horsepower with one naturally aspirated?
Check out the video below where Frankie and Pat show you what they did to theirs and what the results were on the engine dyno. Spoiler alert, they make big steam with the right parts!
Video Description:
Engine Power has finally got their hands on a 2023 Ford 7.3L Godzilla engine to play with and we make several easy upgrades to turn it into a perfect pump gas swap engine! After getting it running and baselining the engine, we’ll perform a camshaft, valve spring, and intake swap to help these 445 cubic inches breathe. We also changed out some of the stock bulky accessories and oiling system for a more engine swap friendly setup before putting Ford’s new, large displacement, gas powerplant on the dyno to see what it can make!
