Thank you!

Oh no they say he's got to go, go go Godzilla, woooohooooo 😂😂😂

"Impressive" is an understatement.

Gladden was an automotive genius. What he did by hand with that little Cleveland engine is other worldly.

If only Ford made a “new” 385. A 4.900” motor with all of the modern engine trends like deep skirt blocks.

Billy or Bob? Bob retired after only 2 races in '97. He ran 7.11 in his last ever win, at E-town in '95. Billy was using a 377, a stroked Cleveland (335) based engine around that time, in his red Fox Mustang GT.

@@foxfordcatguy2283 Yes sir, i was there at Englishtown. Bob was the Best, he is greatly missed. A True Legend.

@@uppydowney6156 i guess this 7.3 Godzilla is as close as we're gonna get to a Newer Big Block Engine from Ford. I Love the 429-460 Engines, and Also the Clevelands, i just Love Canted Valve Ford Engines.

Same bore, shorter stroke, the new base engine in Super Duty. Nothing to get too excited over

Yooo

@@CanIbeFrank yep yep 🇺🇸... love your channel bro

You should build a 6.2, it would be great, would love to follow the build and install. That would show three great current Ford platforms, Coyote, Godzilla and the 6.2L.

@@brianwolfe2993 Unfortunately Ford never got around to producing that siamese-bore Boss I would love to have played with. I know you weren’t a fan of two spark plugs (works fine for new Hemi) but a Boss 6.2-based 6.9 with siamese bores, 4.22” bores, 2.25/1.70” valves and the intake port path the 6.2 already had should have made the GOAT domestic V8 platform. I understand why you guys went the way you did for truck duty - sub-5000 rpm power is probably close and Godzilla is smaller and heads are (probably) cheaper to make - but dang Boss could and should have been so much more.

@@BC08 But the rason it never took off, it is enormious and to be frank did not outperform other engines in the turck class, we did the benchmarking and had the details, which is why we went this way for a production engine. Yes two plugs works on a Hemi, but why have two when this engine with a 4.22 bore has MBT at 23 degrees of spark?

@@brianwolfe2993 Didn’t outperform what? A 6.6 L8T? A 6.4 Hemi? Are you saying the 6.2 as delivered by Ford in the Super Duty had reached the limitations of the design? The 6.2 fits into Mustangs, it didn’t take off because the block delivered couldn’t manage 4.22 bore like Godzilla with reasonable wall thickness and it didn’t have someone like you to fly it’s banner. Do you really think without your trail-blazing drumming up interest Godzilla would be doing anything close to what it is in the aftermarket right now? I don’t.

Don’t understand the problem with having another 7.3 good platform?? Supercharged making 1000hp completely stock. Ya the 6.2 was a great engine. But I’m glad Ford showing they can build best cam in block V8’s too.

I suspect it and the incoming ford 6.8l version will at least meet if not beat the LS in all aspects

@@rickstorm4198 Beating LS from a technical aspect is easy, many engines do it now. The LS’s greatest strength is its ubiquitousness, internal combustion will be out of production before any engine family can manage to dethrone LS on that front. 7.3 Godzilla is basically a retread of LS. How can Godzilla beat LS when it is fundamentally the same, offers no notable architectural advantages and will see much more limited production? If Ford wanted to stomp LS that needed to follow a different path, and they already had the engine platform to do it (Boss) but let it rot on the vine.

@@bairdmaceichthighearn2594 what's the boss platform you're referring to?

@@bairdmaceichthighearn2594 And the LS is essentially a SBF with a mod motor bottom end. It even has the same firing order as the ford. Hell, Ford heads would literally bolt right on an LS block lol. The MSD Distributor for the LS in old NASCAR is not only the same part number for the Ford, the LS also has it in the front. There's far more similarities between a SBF and LS than anything Chevy ever did prior. I guess all I'm trying to say is the last thing Ford is doing is copying LS tech for their godzilla. They were the one's it came from in the 1st place :)

@@Farmaggedon It really doesn’t matter if the LS has more superficial similarities with the SBF than the SBC. It’s totally irrelevant to my point. What the LS did have over the SBF was much better stock heads with much better valve angles, much better oiling systems, much stronger blocks and much stronger OE connecting rods. Late model LS/LT and Godzilla are much closer in the ways that actually matter from an end user perspective than LS is to SBF. I also said nothing about “copying” the LS. That wasn’t my implication, but fundamentally Godzilla is covering the exact same ground the large bore LSs did. Nothing new to see here. Godzilla just another large cube wedge small block with 8-9 degree valve angles and a 1.8 degree cant, woopty doo. I’m not here to to get into a brand bashing, wee-wee measuring or who did what first contest. OE-casting SBFs aren’t worth talking about today. Aftermarket casting SBFs are totally worth talking about but still more $$$$.

Beech Bend Raceway Park, Bowling Green, KY. All the information is at NMRAdigital.com

It is a truck engine that came out in 2020 as an option in the Ford Superduty and incomplete chassis (Dyno Cert)

445 cubic inch small block Ford

What on god's earth are you talking about?

Godzilla does have a lot of rough similarities with the FEs but aren’t “the same” in any way

@@bairdmaceichthighearn2594 my first car was a 1969 Farlane Cobra with a 428 CJ (still own it). I fail to see any simulairy other than the deep skirt block, but the Y block also had a deep skift. Can you expand on what I am missing?

@@brianwolfe2993 that is one hell of a first car. How on earth did you make that happen??

@@brianwolfe2993 Similar bore/stroke, similar bore spacing and similar valve diameters to the 427 Fe. Nope, no similarities at all. 🙄🙄🙄

Yes the point is testing the godzilla platform.

Both, part of the challenge is trying something new and seeing what it can do.

Been there done that, had an SC1 headed billet block that ran 4.3's. But the thing here is this is a true Ford,Truck block, Truck heads,, truck head gaskets, Truck crank. Nice to run with the stock parts.

Because my 351w has been fast for 20+ years... I want more cubes and love being different

Yes, I am sure someone could do better behind the wheel, I think I will be there when I acutally run this out, if you listened to the video you will know why we did it this way. If you want to build your own Godzilla and Match race I am game.

@@brianwolfe2993 I totally understand. I spent years getting my Buick v 6 to 1900 hp as did others now there are people 2200 hp and still in the 7s with really great cars just knowing that the car is capable much more. That’s all I was saying. Thanks

What does the material of the block have to do with it? First, an all-aluminum small-block with enough cylinder head and boost to match 1,600 hp would cost more than this engine by a lot. This is a stock block and heads combo. Second, the only reason a typical SBF would beat this engine is cylinder head flow. This engine uses factory head casts, which is part of the coolness of the build. If you've been following the channel, this engine is all about research and development, not trying to beat another engine. I'm sorry if you don't find it interesting to develop something new, but we do. Keep in mind all engine have gone through this type of work to get where they ended up.

Sorry Brah, you haven't a clue.

@@revanevan is anyone thinking of doing aftermarket heads yet? i feel there is more left in the Godzilla and Brian is slowly pushing it to see where it go before it breaks. personally what i seen so far? 2000 HP is not out of the question but closer to 2300 to 2500 HP. i know its a tall order but i would love to see stress meters on that engine. im welling to bet its laughing at us still at 1600 plus HP.

@@MrAllDay2u Aluminum 429/460? what heads? ProStock castings? im laughing to hard. your definitely not using STOCK CASTING HEADS PORTED.

@@revanevan He said "429/460," BBF not SBF.
