Ford Godzilla Crate Engine

[toddz69]

The first Godzilla-swapped EB I saw was Ken Block's wife's truck at the SEMA show back in November '21.

Think Blocks bronco has a coyote.

Thought somebody in Texas had one done in early '22.

Here's the engine in Mrs. Block's Bronco. I thought it was a Godzilla but I'm not an expert on the modern engines. Perhaps it is a Coyote? Someone smarter than I will know.

That looks like a Godzilla motor. It has a modified intake to lower the Throttle Body angle. Looks great!

I am only counting 4 coils and 4 intake runners per side thinking it is a Coyote.

How many would you expect the godzilla to have?

Here's a Ford Performance (really)? pic link of a Godzilla

As a current owner of a Godzilla I can confirm that the top two photos on this page are a Godzilla. There are a number of tells, but the way the intake manifold is angled up and has to have an elbow to turn the throttle body back down is one of them. And yes, the Godzilla has 4 coils and 4 intake runners per side.

That's a 7.3L no VCT solenoids in the front of the valve covers and the spark plugs are in sides of the heads not up top.

Maybe he was thinking of the old V10?

Thanks. So that was my problem with mentally imagining weights. I thought they were using an aluminum block.

That actually is a good looking TB adaptor with the turn down which is an easy fix with hood clearance.

The factory fuel line going across the top of the intake to each side fuel rail is a given too.

Here what I’m using for an intake manifold. It uses the 92mm GT500 throttle body instead of the 80mm stock one. It also comes out straight and has improved performance.

The Ford Performance and the Holley intakes seem to be the most popular with a lower profile and both solve the weird TB angle of the Stock Intake.

You are most likely going to use the Throttle Body that comes with the 7.3L Control Pack, if that's what you are using for Electronics.

I’ll be using an OBR controller, which doesn’t typically come with a throttle body. They have several different tunes for different intake/throttle body combinations. I already have my 92mm throttle body, and they have a tune for this intake/TB combo. I’m still holding out for a better cam though (likely coming soon).

I was thank you. Too much carbon monoxide from my rear exit exhaust!

The 7.3L pretty much replaced the 6.2L V8 which had dual plugs, so it had 16 total which made for a not very fun tune up!

Is that intake really $1100+? Has aftermarket options dropped the price any yet? I can see I'm only building old skool strokers for a while... lol
