I just wanted to hear the engine running in the video instead of the music during the idle and the burn out but all in all an awesome video. Love the channel and everything you guys do!
Same. Wth
Awesome video Caleb! We're excited to finally get some numbers down soon and show everyone how capable the Godzilla really is! Looking forward to seeing you again soon! - Jude H
no lie, I would like to see a 7.3 godzilla swap in a 1st to 3rd gen Ranger
I love this channel. I always tell my wife, I'll always have a Mustang. It was my first love. It was love at first sight 25 years ago.
I had a 1985 GT. The only car I wish I had back.
Same. Had mine for 20 had 4 others too. Wish I'd kept em all.
My kids running around like crazies at the end 🤦♂
Needs the ford performance intake and at least a cam swap.
Man as a ford guy it’s so awesome to see not one but two options for v8 swap. Hell yes 🙌🏽
Wow! A simple blue collar Godzilla kit! Awesome!
Wait🤔 $12k for motor, cooling, k-member, etc and no trans 😳🙄
That’s a different color collar, my friend.
Huh? You don’t have 12k in the bank? That’s pretty much an average person’s monthly expenses these days bro. Sorry you’re broke but don’t attack people. I’m pissed we didn’t get to see a pull…. You’re pissed bc you’re broke 😂
@@thecrazyfamily3635 Attack? Broke? What are you talking about? You do realize I’m not attacking and you are. Also, I was pointing out that the expense is not “blue collar”. The average of $12k/month in expenses is $144k/yr which is foolish. You’re saying the average person makes $200k/yr. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You’re a fool. When you grow up, you’ll understand what adults are saying. As far as my income, it exceeds $200k/yr by double.
We want to hear the cars
Super awesome swap! LMR is a GREAT company! 💯👊🏾
I don’t know if it’s the same person but the guy you said made the intake and other parts Scott Hubbard is my cousin and he has built some of the basest fox-bodies in the southeast if not the country him and a guy named Vic Garcia
😍 that engine harness looks amazing!
That Intro 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey we met at the LMR event in Dallas Saturday. Took a pic with you. Still a fan and still watching and liking!
Great to meet you!
Dude. It comes down to cost.... I have a 6.2 ls in mine. Maybe 6k in the car including driveshaft, k- member, t56, clutch, harness, tune, suspension, brakes, cam, and etc... 500+ hp, and car included
Thank you for the video Caleb you and Brew2l are the couple main channels I watch love y’all’s content and all
Awesome I would love to do one myself
I have watched their videos, truly great information, even usable for other swaps beside foxbodies, like older
F150 trucks. Love the video content, keep this stuff coming.
Be nice to hear sound of engine. Definitely considering this swap for my coupe
They sound badass. Think 351 Windsor on steroids. Badass motor for sure. All the coyote fanboys get butthurt anytime someone goes godzilla over coyote and start talking about how the coyote can make x hp with just boost stock motor blah blah the same shit we already know. They never mention how much torque they're making tho I wonder why that is? This engine is a totally different experience and the character may actually fit a fox better being that it's a pushrod.
I need! 😆
Rich blue collar 7.3 swap cost like $20k
Idk about 20k lol. Don't cost any more than a coyote swap it's prob less than gen 2 and 3 swaps. I seen a dude get a used one for 4k and he went 10s in an 88 tbird with minor tweaks. The engine is legit the coyote fanboys need to just get over themselves already and accept there is another sweet Ford engine option now not everyone wants the same thing. It's like the coyote guys feel "threatened" by the godzilla. Nobody is trying to steal your spotlight coyote it's just another solid engine option. Totally different
I know for a fact that every single person watching this just wanted to hear the motor instead of that annoying music you played over both times it was running and doing burnouts! MOTOR SOUND over music BLAH
So I want to see the advantage, if any, of a Godzilla swap over a Coyote swap.
Cheaper to modify in the long run and they hold up to boost exceptionally well, more cubic inch, the list goes on
Im guessing the Godzilla makes more torque over the Coyote.
Funny you should ask 😎

@@Bullitt351 , Not impressed by C.I.. I want to see 1/4 mi. Times.
Was hoping to hear this beast
This would be a lot more appealing in a small car like a Fox if the engine costed significantly less than a Coyote, being a less complex design. I don't think it's worked out that way so far. Prohibitively expensive, just like the Coyote. As it stands now, I'd only really put one in a car that would have come with a big block like, say a '71 Cyclone. And only if I had a money tree, obviously.
Swaps are complex, whether coyote or pushrod; you can still make plenty of power with a SBF
Less expensive, less complex... have to stick with an older small/big block or an ls
Junkyard ls+ turbo.
500hp screamer for under 5k
@@Seasniffer69junkyard is where they belong
"costed" bud you ain't swapping anything
i wanted to hear what it sounds like
Coming soon
the next time you film a burnout dont put music over it in the edit
Why do some call the 7.3 a big block?
The people at LMR are awesome! Never had a bad experience with them. Cool video.🐺
Why the hell isn't anyone doing the 6.2 swap . Shit you can stroke it to almost 500 cubic inchs and the heads can flow over 400 cfm . The 4.6 love boost . Just emagine the the 6.2 on boost.
6.2 is said to be a modern day "cammer". 400 plus cfm is as good as it gets
Maannn! You know way better than play music over the sound of the enigine, not even a startup, damn!!!
Sweet
Love the Godzilla content! 👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸. Also sad though how many haters it brings out. This is obviously a Godzilla video, but many(maybe most) of the comments are negative from coyote fans. I’d expect it from LS fans, but surprised it’s all coyote fans that don’t like the Godzilla. We don’t all have to like the same engines, but there is no denying the Godzilla has tons of potential. If they continue to build the Godzilla in large numbers and particularly if they make an aluminum, more performance oriented version, I think it will have a long and very successful life as a great performance engine platform. I’ve been a Ford fan my entire life, and I personally don’t like the mod motor/coyote platform at all. I know it has tons of potential itself, but I’ve never been a fan because of its 90 degree cylinder bank angle and huge overhead cam heads make it physically gigantic. But despite is huge external size, the tiny bore spacing limits it to 5.2 liters displacement. I’d love the coyote if it had enough bore spacing for 7 liters but unfortunately it doesn’t. That’s not a problem you can fix. It will always be physically huge with limited displacement. Again, I’d love to have dual overhead cams with large displacement but that’s not an option with the coyote. So, I’ll settle for a cam in block design with large displacement like the Godzilla any day over the coyote. That’s my personally opinion but most forms of big horsepower drag racing are still dominated by large displacement pushrod engines. Again, my opinion but it’s a positive one of the Godzilla which is obviously the topic of the video. You won’t see me commenting negatively about the coyote on every coyote video I can find. But for some unfortunate reason, that seems to be the case on Godzilla videos, coyote fans making negative comment after negative comment.
Are they doing it because they don't have the newest swap anymore?!
I’m just hating bc I couldn’t hear the engine or see a pull. I couldn’t even get through your fucking run on paragraph
Alex 📞 it, and so it's begun...
The LMR car
I have used several of LMR Tutorials, very well done. I would be interested to know the true advantages to a Godzilla Swap as opposed to a Coyote Swap.
You and me both bud...
@@Brock_Landers I mean are folks doing it just to say they can do it (which is cool, for sure) or are there some real tangible reasons to go Godzilla over Coyote, I mean I can't afford either at the moment but inquiring minds want to know...or it could be the weed cookie I just ate....
It’s the fact it can handle boost without cracking the motor open
@@tonyritchie1002 nice, thanks for the info, explains why just about all the Godzilla's I've seen are running some pretty wicked turbo set ups.
@@tonyritchie1002 stock coyotes make 650 with a blower all day long without "cracking the motor open".
It’s novel.
What’s the weight of a 7.3 vs a coyote? I would think for drag racing it makes the nose really heavy
About the same
Godzilla is 50lbs more than a 351w
@@theriffwniksevigny5473thats not what he asked
Any plans for a kit for the OBS F-Series trucks?
I’m curious because I got a team z kmember for free and it happens to be an ls swap k member which is a bummer so I’m trying to sell it. I noticed the Godzilla motor mounts are similar looking to the ls mounts. Would those bolt up to a 2v 4.6??
i get the idea of using the new 7.3, but why would you when the 460 offers bigger cubes more aftermarket support and is actually lighter and cheaper.
Agree
What's up with the 5k cash and mustang gt giveaway. Haven't talked about it for a while and link disappeared 🤔
Sold out, drawing this week, and another drawing about to start
Ehh. I can respect the work. But why not put a 460 or a 427 with modern fuel injection in a mustang at this point.
Why didn't you hi outside, it would really be nice to hear the information you were putting out.
I’ve got the coupe version of that car minus the 7.3 😢
Love to see a basic swap for the “average guy”. But from the title I thought there was going to be more info about what’s actually needed…
im waiting on the rumered not out yet alum 6.8. seeing that it would be the same motor but de stroked version with an aluminum block, this is awesome information. I wonder how tunable the control pack is?
any information on what people are getting WHP wise with these motors on pump 93. if i could get at least 800whp on 93. ill start saving.
I've never even seen a 7.3 Godzilla in anything, but the stock specs are 430 HP and 475 lb ft. The newest iteration of the Coyote is 460 HP and 420 lb ft. Granted, the 7.3 makes more torque and at a lower RPM, but what's the real upside? I'm not bashing anything or anyone, I'm just asking what the mindset is when deciding between the two engines? I mean, I really think that the Coyote is the way to go. I'd really like to see two identical Fox bodies, one with a Godzilla, and one with a Coyote with basic mods (intake, header, exhaust) run down the quarter mile. Then, I'd like to supercharge them both with basically the same spec kit and see how they match up. I realize that the Coyote is a VERY common swap by now and just like the LS, it's getting old to see a Coyote under the hood of anything, but it's a well-proven engine that is capable of some crazy numbers, but is it really worth the premium to say that you've got a 7.3 swapped Fox body? I don't know, but I'd sure love to see one in person...and better yet, drive it. I think it's awesome if you can afford to throw caution to the wind...and your cash. Meanwhile I'm stuck with a 25 year old Honda Civic that makes a measly 709 wheel horsepower and runs 9s. What do I know about Ford anything?
Torque is what gets you off the line. With the coyote making 30 more horses up top, will it make it come around the Godzilla? Like you stated, a comparison is in order. I guess it just depends on the overall cost.
There are videos of Brian Wolfe getting I think around 500 with a tune and with a throttle body swap will make more than that. From what I’ve seen the main restriction is the intake because it’s a truck intake meant for low end torque not necessarily horsepower.
The real upside is it sounds better, it has alot more torque especially down low it isn't always just about peak numbers. It has tons of displacement and you can punch it out even larger. They can make big power pretty easy as well it's just a totally different experience. Different character. It makes so much more torque than a coyote at street driven rpms its not even funny. A gen 3 coyote is gonna cost more money than a godzilla from what I've seen. Not everyone wants a coyote I know it's a shocker but it's not the answer for every person and every build. Some people like to actually be different as well. I can Def see why someone would go this route ecsp in a car that was pushrod from the factory it keeps that original old school feel.
@@jimmyvinsonhaler1653 people don't realize this thing is in truck trim making that kind of power not full blown 12:1 compression 7500 rpm mustang trim. There is a couple good intake options now that allow it to fit in cars easier those intakes ported with a healthy cam and springs is gonna make some nasty power and torque. They can make a ton of power. They make power totally different ways everyone always compares stock vs stock who cares about stock? Lol. 99% of people are going to mod them intake cam springs boost etc. It's gonna make big power and more important big torque not to mention it sounds like a 351 Windsor on steroids so it wins the sound competition too.
Maybe price… the Godzilla swap seems a little more cost effective than the Yote swap.
🐺....🎶🐧🐧🐧
And how much, exactly, are we looking at ? Compared to a 351 or 460 swap ? Because there’s nothing wrong with a 7.3 swap , but seriously , it’s not exactly “low dollar “
Things that make you go hmmmmm
Here there a 6.8 L now
How much did the whole motor build cost?
To me its a waist of time i rather do coyote swap allday everyday. Coyote swap is the way to go.
Yeah but these are pushrod motors they sound NASTY also coyote's weren't plug and play like they are now either, these things are sweet they'll get there!
You ever drove a 7.3? Cuase they rip in the fserious
@@chrismason8106 yes i am not empress
Okay well that’s you he clearly had the want to do it don’t hate
But the Coyote swap is already over done there, sheep. A Godzilla is NOT something you’d expect to see or hear. But that’s your opinion. I’d agree with you but then we’d both be wrong 😂
My god ten minutes didn’t even hear it waste of time
There's the inevitable Coyote vs Godzilla discussion, but one thing I'd like to point out is efficiency. I know most people don't care, but I spec'd an F250 with the Godzilla and the thing that keeps me away is the fuel mileage, 12 mpgs. The Coyote has to be twice as efficient.
That said, I still don't see how either one of these beats the $ per hp ratio of a 351 based swap. Granted the Coyote engines are super reliable, no rear main leaks, e.t.c. But $ for $ the 351W just seems to be that poor man's sweet spot build.
600-1000 hp, small block heads, cam, valvetrain are cross compatible. Can use the Vortech or on 3 kit you already have with some modification...
As an experiment, it's cool. As a budget garage build, meh.
I really thought after 7 minutes of garbage blah blah blah we were gonna get to see a pull. I’ll never get that 7 minutes back. Thanks for nothing losers
How do you alleviate the fox bodies awful steering? I remember them with the old 5.0 and they don’t turn above like 35 mph, just “plow”. Can’t imagine that heavier block in there.. must be a ball to steer.
There’s a bunch of ways! First off is deleting the rag joint and going to universal joints on the steering shaft. Second is a modern coilover setup. Third is bump steer correction as well as a stiffer aftermarket subframe with revised mounting points. Maximum motorsports pretty much exists as a company to try to get these cars to turn corners better. I also wonder how much heavier a Godzilla really is because it has an aluminum block and heads compared to a small block made of all iron.
Hey guys I have a 92 Mustang I would like to sell I live in Florida it is a 5.0car five speed if anybody’s interested just message me
Some more auto junk! Yeeeesh where are the manual swap 7.3's at? All the auto stuff is making my head hurt like crazy. Whac ass 10spd this garbo 6r80 that never a real transmission. Let me not forget that dct junk as well
