It's definitely a torque monster! -Landan

When are you guys doing yours? Lx notchbac

We appreciate the great feedback! This was exactly our thoughts whenever we built the car. -Landan

There wouldn't be as many ls swaps if Chevrolet made good transmissions.

Doesn't need to be ls competition when you can buy a smaller cube coyote and make more power.

@@Joebauers2505 yeah but the Coyote is arguably harder to work on and more expensive. Don’t get me wrong I just picked up a gen 2 and I know they are superior engines. But for what I want to do (no prep street racing) the bigger low end torque push rod engines are the best for that. Especially for the 8th.

Ford sells close to million trucks a year you’ll see the 7.3 more often trust me

@@yaboykris2118 - also no if you knew anything about coyotes and dohc engine is they make torque lots of it no one buys ls for torque and that’s not how engines work. LOL cheap junkyard cookie cutter build that’s what the ls is. Cleetus went 7’s with a stock Godzilla potential is insane way better than lt or ls or gen 3 “hemi”. All this engine needs is time so prices drop and have more availability that’s all no discussion about it being a better engine, it’s a fact that it is.

Hey Ole! Thank you for helping us with everything! We're glad we went with the OBR Godzilla Control Pack for our project. Your product is industry-leading, and your knowledge is invaluable! -Landan

Thanks for the feeback! This instrument cluster is designed specifically for 1987-1993 Fox Mustangs. -Landan Here is a link if you would like to read about it: lmr.com/item/ATM-7007/mustang-autometer-invision-lcd-dash-kit-87-93

We were so close 😅

Cletus a dreads did it

Definitely! Little River is the best!

That's the max mph the cluster will display. We've been a little lazy with calibrating the speedometer! -Landan

Drag racing looks weird from some angles. But the numbers don't lie haha!

The speedometer wasn't calibrated. The Autometer InVision dash is a nice part. Let me know if you have any questions about it. -Landan

@@latemodelrestoration All good. I have a Holley screen with GPS

there's still a lot of headaches before this goes mainstream.

A quick search shows that a 460 with aluminum heads weighs ~670 pounds. The 7.3L Godzilla without any accessory drive components weighs ~540 pounds. -Landan

@@latemodelrestoration thanks brother

Thanks!

Hell yea it would for the very low price of 300$ 🤣

Just look at coyote stock class. Those guys are running sealed engines and in the 9’s.

@@orionsmith7669 Numbers should be more for a 7.3..Really not impressed

It's a stock truck engine with long tubes , it was not designed to be a performance engine ! That said once this engine is properly set up to be a performance engine you will see much better numbers , and keep in mind this car is sporting hwy gears 3.27 not drag strip friendly even with close to 500 ftp of torque at the wheels which also were spinning at launch .

@Fred Moucatel Got it 👍🏻 thank you I really appreciate the clarification. I thought this set up was for a drag car. 👍🏻 Really appreciate the response

Thanks for the comment! The original plan was a TKX, but we opted for a 6R80 for R&D reasons. -Landan

@@latemodelrestoration Have you looked in to a Tremec transmission yet? Do you know if it will bolt up to this motor?

@@pokergamesinteractivellc8841 Yes. The original plan was to use a Tremec TKX. Any transmission from a Ford modular V8 production engine will work with the 7.3L Godzilla. Some examples would be a 4R70W, 4R100, T45, and TR3650. The Godzilla engine shares the same bellhousing bolt pattern. -Landan

Back in the 90's, the R32 was dubbed "Godzilla" by consumers and the press, not the engine. The 7.3L big-block was code-named Godzilla.

Forged crank, powdered rods, and hypereutectic pistons. -Landan

@@latemodelrestoration It really disappoints that after the Terminator none of the engines from Ford came with fully forged internals. They ask so much for these long blocks and they cant even hold any crazy power without blowing up.😞

@@ff23018 More factory engines with forged internals would be cool! -Landan

@@ff23018 The GT500 came with forged internals and is basically the successor of the Terminator.

2020 and newer F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks. -Landan

Ours is designed as a street build (including A/C, full interior, etc.). We wanted to build it this way to help inspire others if they also plan to Godzilla swap their Fox Body. We are working on many other projects, parts, and product reviews on our channel. Which is why it took time to complete. 😉

Slapped on 2 turbos and blew it up twice so far,...impressive

@@msw7021 cause there was to much fuel in the oil,and using the factory head bolts 3 times when they are supposed to be used once so nothing but there fault

Honestly, I don’t think you’d want to go any faster in this car.

@@1SIK500 that doesn't answer the question. It seems the cluster is hitting a 160mph limit on the track and on the Dyno regardless if the car is actually doing that speed or more.

That's the max mph the cluster will display. I'll be honest, we've been a little lazy on calibrating the speedometer. -Landan

@@latemodelrestoration thanks Landan. What do you speculate the actual mph was on those runs on the dyno and track?

@@PANTYEATR1 The car trapped 119-120 mph on most of the runs. On the fastest pass, it trapped 120.22 mph. -Landan

You are not wrong. I have built many projects. But this is my first STREET/DRAG CAR build. Though I have ROADRACED all my life. I have only been down the STRIP a few dozen times in my life. LMR thought that I should be the one to test it out. I am Greatful for the opportunity. I would need some more seat time to get the hang of the DRAG RACE technique. I knew everyone would pick up on that. I am very happy with the way the car turned out.. ......Scott Hubbard

​@@hubstang tell @elias to build his own and show you 😂

​​@@hubstang also I asked landen but I may get a quicker answer. Keep the 4r70 or was there a switch in a later than Ep 1 episode to the 6r80? And what's the stall?

@@ZLwh1ne The 4R70 was only used for the initial mock up and was never intended to be used in this build. You can see in the other episodes that we switched to the 6R80. There is an aftermarket Torque converter, 2500 stall, but it seems to be pulling before that.

I'd rather build the stock 5.0 they sound better and are more fun
