Man, big engines with pushrods! It's the sixties again, but with improvements! I approve!
I know right. I was thinking the same thing when I heard about the 7.3 and the 6.8l pushrod engines. These cylinder heads are like the Cleveland back in 69-71 era!
Yes. Plus, hopefully, we get to watch this evolve into a DOHC.
@@jaimegarcia5316 that’ll be sooo fucking amazing
@@jaimegarcia5316 ohhhh maaan I hope not.
Big block wars are back on.
WOW those ports-talk about line of sight!
Awesome Evan, thank you for keeping us updated on this engine, we appreciate it!
You’re welcome
I’ve been wanting to see this engine up close for a while now! Sweet!!
I think anyone serious in the Motorsport industry is taking a close look at how these 7.3’s perform. It’s amazing how fast the aftermarket has taken hold and started producing products. Us Ford guys have been waiting for a long time to find a successor to the Windsor platform and I think everyone is very excited to see how the 7.3 is performing. Keep up the content! Ready to see some boost builds. #ENDTHELSSWAP
Great point, thanks for your comment.
@CORNYOTE there’s reports that Ford and Windsor are making a deal for a 6.8L pushrod that’ll be coming in the 2022 Mustangs & f150s.. keep in mind the Godzilla comes in the f250s.
@@alejandroledesma905 yep, I’ve heard. I’m personally more interested in the crate motor as I have a 64 fairlane, a 66 mustang and a 76 F250 that would all be great candidates for a modern motor swap.
@@alejandroledesma905 revan evan already said the 6.8L for the mustang was fake news lol
@@CORNYOTE I’d say slide that sucker right in that Fairlane’s engine bay or the F250 for sure but that’s just me lol, 64 & 66-70 fairlanes/torinos are some of my favorite ford cars your one lucky man 🤙🏼
Well , I'm watching 👀 Brian ! I'm very interested in your findings . Keep up the good work and keep us posted please Evan ! Godzilla 🐲 👍
Nice to see Ford back in the push rod V-8 game again but it seems a bit heavy as a package compared to the ls platforms.
I love this! My 93 4 cyl Notch will be happy once I get one of these engines.
Thank you.
Can't wait!!!
Beautifully job guys!
I think the numbers will be around 750 hp! N/A .... nice
Man so excited everyday I keep looking for more updates on the 7.3... got lucky bought a 7.3 core for the torino now just waiting for more Intel
My Mentor B.W, that guy’s an engine whisperer 💜💜 Keep the content coming!!
Thank you Ricardo, you are to kind.
I want to see this thing de-throne the LS in all of motorsports.
LOL, LMAO yeah right!
It will patiently waiting
Very impressive !!
Hope the aftermarket jumps head first into this new combo. Sick of the LS bandwagon. 😡Thanks for the updates. 👍
Aftermarket is there, cams, pistons, rods, superchargers, dry sump systems, etc. All out there now.
@@brianwolfe2993 Great news. Thank you and hope for your success in your involvement with the new Ford motor. 👍😍
Very nice head, I like to see stage 1 head on a stock 7.3 block on a dyno or flow bench. Always nice to listen Brian explaning thé fact.💪👏
That video is on Revan Evan's Channel
Yes, That Video is there for a past dyno session, but when Evan was here we had even better results, and the Stage 1 Heads are producing numbers better than I expected. Spoiler alert near 700 HP with a big cam and Short runner Billet intake. Checkout my Facebook page.
@@brianwolfe2993 that's awesome!! Any info on the 6.8 v8 that Ford announced?
Ford: please offer this in the F-150
not going to happen
They are doing a 6.8 instead
But I think it will be based off this new 7.3 block.
They are...its an aluminum version with less displacement at 6.8L
@@cesarpalmos8235
I’d be happy with the 6.2 in the F-150. That’s a proven motor and it would be great mated with the F-150 10-speed
My god will you look at the size of those runners in beginning of video and a fairly straight shot into cylinder…that is going to have potential to make some power!
Great video! More Godzilla content please
Thanks for bringing this to us first! Can’t wait to see these SevenThrees turned loose!!
What kinda RPM is Brian gonna turn these things in his racecar? How about in a nice street/strip setup?
The Race engine will run to 8300-8700. It has a stock crank, but aluminum rods and forged pistons as well as a mechanical roller camshaft.
Where you removed that small bit from where the spark plug is, will
That not let carbon build up on the spark plug threads, thus being hard to remove later?
Man I’m so glad too Ford back in the pushrod engines. These engines are going to hurt some Ls feelings.
No pre computer trans available .
And inside our own community as well.caugh caugh coyote guys.
Uh... this motor can’t even compete with the LS7 from 2005... Dont get me wrong I’m happy Ford made it but stop taking Jabs at the LS.. you don’t have to hate the LS to Love the Godzilla.. the Ls7 makes 650hp to the tire! N/A with a cam/head and intake upgrade.. think about that.. that was sold in 2005 as a 06!!!
@@BLACKLACDTS 🤣🤣.......lts are doing the same wtf are you blabbin about..... 7.3 did all this stuff stoc they haven't even made heads and cams yet...... fucn clown 🥱 tt 7.3 stoc put down 1100hp comfortably cut your bullshit
@@ranware2779 “it’s are doing the same”
Yea they don’t make cams or anythinb for them...
ruclips.net/video/DzJEKQTPMWA/видео.html
Aluminum shrouded the spark plugs FOR cooling and compression. Spark plugs needs to be recessed while maintaining same ignition area
There is to much potential in this motor to be limited in trucks..
I keep hearing rumors of an aluminum 6.8 liter version destined for other things...
Reminds me of the direction Fords FE Hi-Riser of old. Of course taken just wee bit farther. 😅
3:48 "I wouldn't expect someone to use stock pistons and rods * laughs in sloppy mechanics *
Just cam+springs+ring gap+boost. I'm sure it will break the 4 digit power mark at 10 PSI with an S480/ S500 SXE. Someone send one to Richard Holdener.
No kidding
@@TMB5BER This is the way.
I will be running a Whipple this year and a Turbo on my dyno early next year.
ruclips.net/video/Fr4w3Y48IB8/видео.html
I wonder why Ford had the combustion chamber spark plugs bosses in the first place. Would cutting them off and going with a shorter plug lead to less effective flame propagation?
Love the videos very informative. Wondering where I can purchase these head and cam combos?
I’ll post a link in my next 7.3 video
You can contact me at wolfe@willisengines.com.
I would like to see how far the bottom end can go BEFORE doing rods and pistons. How much boost can this thing take before the head gaskets blow?
Head gaskets should handle a lot of boost, they are multi layer steel gaskets
Where can we get cams for this ? Also looking to drop one in a new edge for a road course car .
Awesome! What are flow numbers on the stage 2 and also stock and stage 1?
Stay tuned for flow numbers. Sorry we didn’t get to include them in this video.
@@revanevan I heard him mention 300 intake. Is that stock?
@@randysrestoration Yes, they flow just over 300 CFM stock. The Stage 1 heads did make 690 HP with a large hydraulic roller cam and a short runner billet intake. We will have stage 2 results in December if things go to plan.
@@brianwolfe2993 Thanks! What did exhaust side flow?
What are the stock Intake Port Volumes and what are the intake port volumes after porting? You said flows @ 300cfm.., at what valve lift is that? Any chance we'll ever see a cfm flow chart; before/after porting?I know what the stock intake port volumes should be, but I cant seem to find and definitive answers from anyone as to what the intake port volumes actually are
Hemi heads ford! Hemi heads for the next gen 6.8 mustang👌
How much air do they flow on the intake and exhaust on the stage 2 head ?
On the stage 2 Port of the Godzilla motor what are the flow numbers and what is the intake Port volume
These are starting to gain traction as an upgrade for our Falcons. Please can you tell us if anyone else is doing a front sump conversion?
nice
Would somebody explain those garage door springs? What are they, 3-1/2" Long?
When do we get to see some dyno numbers with the whipple?
in 3 to 6 weeks
Its a bit hard to find all the dimensional component specs on the Stk 7.3L. Anyone know the rod ratio? Or rod length @ least?
Can we also wrk that bkwards to the "rumoured 6.8L" version & its rod ratio?
Can that motor fit in my 2002 Ford F-150 and would I need to get a new wire harness
Uh, is there a power pack available yet to run this engine?
Can you keep the 04 power steering rack and MM steering shaft in a fox body with the 7.3?
Brian will conform, but I believe you can with the Team Z install kit.
I am not certain, but as Evan said Team Z has a K-Member, they can share what works.
Everyone is waiting for a full power pass with the black fox...."foxzilla ?"
I would like to see both torque curves side by side to compare the difference each manifold has on torque and rpm.
That will of course be coming when the engine goes on Dyno. You can checkout the willis performance FB page for all the data to date.
I am respectfully curious....is the cost of such improvements in the realm of "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" category? Thank your for your response.
You can contact me at wolfe@willisengines.com. But in short our Stage 1 heads which are 700 HP capable are about $1250 which is just to CNC your stock heads, supply bare we return bare. The cam is about $650. I am waiting on valve spring costs for production. The missing element is a low cost short runner intake, we made that power with a billet intake which is stupid expensive unless you are running one of the heads up classes, like RvW, LDR or X275 where these are the norm.
Do you know if the upcoming 6.8L is related to this engine? Is it the 7.3L with a smaller bore or a 6.2L with a 7.3L crank or some completely different?
From the press releases a variant of the 7.3L
@@brianwolfe2993 Thanks. If you have access to a 6.2L could you confirm the 7.3L crank fits? Thanks again.
Hey guys I have a 96 SN95 GT. It was my high school car that fixed up with my dad. The car is now over 155K miles. For a while I was considering replacing the car, but I don't have the heart to do it. The car is very clean except the motor. The 5.0 swap is a no brainer but this motor has my attention. I like the displacement and the push rod simplicity. With my dad being old school this motor seems like a better option. Looking to start the project in a couple years. Plan is a Godzilla motor 650hp-700hp NA, T56, coil overs, and built rear-end. Any knowledge of all the challenges and costs would be helpful. We are car guys doing some but not all work. My father has a 47 year machine repair background at ford so please consider that haha. Goal is a street car that dances on the edge of scary but drivable.
I see them more as a replacement for the FE. It was a Sports Car engine really. The Godzilla with a 2x4 carb intake would look proper in a 60s Torino.
Is Brian and/or Evan considering offering the stage one machine work and parts commercially to other 7.3L owners? Considering an upgrade a super duty.
Yes, email me at wolfe@willisengines.com
Cool....
Is a plug change needed for the stage 2 heads?
Yes, contact me at wolfe@willisengines.com for details.
I wonder if the engine mounts are the same as the Coyote?
No they are different
FOXBODY install please lol with a manual trans...
If my 4.0l in the 4runner ever dies I'm putting a 7.3 in it
If Ford Chevy and Dodge did their jobs right in the factory there would be no need to Port heads for more power they'd be ported in the design in the beginning
I like both Chevy and Ford but I am more a Ford man but Chevy still has them beat on pricing.
I want to know if 1000hp is possible for a completely Naturally Aspirated 446?
a couple of videos ago brian wolfe said that hed expect to see 900
@@2011metalmaniac Yes. that is with Stock Head Castings, stock block, and stock crank.
Noice!
WHAT DETERMINES THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT A SMALL BLOCK AND A BIG BLOCK IS? IT IS THE ROTATING MASS, THE WEIGHT OF THE CRANKSHAFT. THE SMALL BLOCK FORD,CHEVY, CHRYSLER ARE IN THE RANGE OF 40LBS WHILE THE BIG BLOCKS ARE IN THE RANGE OF 65LBS. THE ONLY REASON THE BUICK 455 MADE THE MOST TORQUE WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CRANKSHAFT WAS 10LBS HEAVIER THAN THE FORD 460 AND CHEVY 454 AND THAT WAS THE REASON. BUT IT WAS A TRADE OFF BECAUSE IT SPINS UP SLOWER AS OPPOSED TO THE FORD AND CHEVY. IN DRAG RACING THE KEY IS TO KEEP THE RPM UP AND THE BUICK WITH ITS HEAVIER ROTATING MASS FAILED IN THIS AREA. THE PONTIAC ENGINE IS CONSIDERED A SMALL BLOCK BUT THAT IS DESPUTABLE. BY CRANK WEIGHT IT CAN FALL CLOSER INTO BEING A BIG BLOCK. FOR YEARS I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY THE PONTIAC 326 NEVER BECAME A COMPETITOR TO THE CHEVY 327. THE ANSWER WAS THE CRANK SHAFT WEIGHT. THE PONTIAC 326 CRANK IS HEAVIER AND WITH SMALLER CUBIC INCHES WHICH TAKE IN LESS AIR/FUEL THEY MAKE LESS POWER. SO THE PONTIAC WAS SLOWER TO REACH RPMS AND THE REASON IT COULD NOT COMPETE AGAINST CHEVY'S 327. DIESEL CRANKS ARE HEAVIER FOR A REASON.
EVAN, THE QUESTION I HAVE HERE IS THE WEIGHT OF THIS GODZILLA CRANK AS OPPOSED TO THE OTHER FORD ENGINES LIKE THEIR BIG BLOCK AND THE 351 WINDER WHICH HADE A HEAVIER CRANK WHICH WAS THE REASON IT MADE GLOBULAR AMOUNTS OF TORQUE.
We want to see a turbo straight 6 fuck a v8 with tech from the 20s lol
RIP.....only 480p :(
What do the heads flow?
As bad as thi sounds we did not flow them, but we will be getting Dyno Results to share sometime in December.
Half ass cnc porting, half ass testing, hopefully someone who actually cares will be porting them.
Don’t ever trust a port job that wasn’t even flowed to see what helps and where the dead spots are.
When are we gonna see a turbo 7.3??
Looking like early 2021 for me. Know others will be there first.
I noticed he says we offer a few times. What company is he with now?
Willis Performance Enterprises, you can email me at wolfe@willisengines.com. Website coming soon.
@@brianwolfe2993 Awesome I hope these gain some aftermarket support I’d love to lock the cam and drop one in a bracket car
What bellhousing pattern does this engine use ?
Same as 4.6 modular and Coyote.
@@revanevan So FoMoCo is still dead since 1996 .
They look pretty alive and well to me..what do you mean?
@@cesarpalmos8235 Not a good substitute for Lima or windsor series , not for a real life budget , no pre computer trans fits , my 60s and 70s Fords are only related by the name.
Yeah I want a 7.3 with a four on the floor for my 78 f150.
What’s the difference in premium guides
Bronze
Where do you buy these heads?
email me at wolfe@willisengines.com
How come no canted valves?
‘Cause CFD
Not bad...
6.8 for f-150
cool. an LT1 with rolled valve angles
The New Boss 429
Please comment on the rumored 6.8L Mustang.
No Idea, but do not believe it, they coyote is to good and light to replace in my opinion.
I highly doubt it’ll happen in Mustang. There might be a possible application in the F-150, but with the current engine range available for that, it may not happen anyway.
480P video, really?
You forgot the fact that cnc-ported has a better airflow than hand ported
this is untrue. cnc machining offers consistency from port to port, provided there's no core shift. an experienced porter could easily match or even exceed a cnc port.
Only 4 bolts per cylinder??
@Phillip Aubin the head bolts thread in at the bottom of the block??
Good ole ls technology there.
LS uses old technology from other manufacturers.
@@mikeanderson345 how so?
I mean nothing furd or dodge made ran as good as a ls/lt. This 7.3 is nearly a direct copy of ls/lt stuff. Hell even some newer hemi stuff in it. ....pretty blatant really.
Sir, are these heads the same as those to be used on the 6.8 liter engine for 2021 Mustang and F150??
I'm looking forward to some aftermarket heads, I'm going to need the thicker decks.
I highly doubt we’ll see a 6.8 in a production Mustang, but anything is possible. And yes, same engine family.
@@revanevan I read some magazine article that said the Coyote was gone and the 6.8 was in come the 2021 model year.
Oh well, it sure would have made a great Super Stock drag car.
I read on Hagerty that the 6.8 was going to be a destroked 7.3 with an aluminum block. I hope that's true. It would make sense for the F150, and could even be put in the Mustang. Such an engine would have huge sales potential for Ford as a crate engine.
@@johnparrish9215 ive read that a GDI 6.8 was tested on a mustang. Iron block still. At 1:20 you can see the GDI injector position
@@2011metalmaniac 2011 .................Is that were they want the GDI boss ?????
That engine looks like an LT GM motor
Which looks like a small block ford if the Ford had coil near plug.
Only 10 head bolts damn fords..
It is insulting when parts developers speak in "stage" terms. Don't you think most folks looking to build and swap one of these have been hotrodding long enough to understand the numbers that go into BMEP?
Evan, can you please shoot in HD? you're the only person on RUclips shooting in 10 year old technology.
Sure thing, just got a new camera and I screwed up the settings.
@@revanevan Thank you. I've been following you since '95 in MM&FF. Great info on the newest Ford hot rods. Keep it up!
You’re welcome.
Much appreciated, that’s a long time. I was thinking about doing some videos on the early years and car tests.
Upcharge much? Your going to need rods for this low power slug (under 1K)? WTF
Bunch of bad information. You don’t flow 300 cfm on the exhaust and only make 600 hp.
Sweet now it will make 650hp put it in a garbage truck HAHAHA
Kaase p51 or Boss heads (out of the box) on a 460 based engine have done better than this Godzilla engine. Something is not right with these heads.
Get a HEMI, papas
Disappointed in this video.
I don't particularly need the gibberish explaining that airflow (cylinder heads) is tantamount to making horsepower nor the fact that modified heads start from stock heads - I watched to see the output improvement over the stock head.
Mext time I'll just scroll by unless it specifically says 'Dyno' in the title.
Mikey, better yet, just stick with Speed Racer Cartoon videos, you won't be a dissapointed.
It’s a process. I’m sure you’ll be pleased when we install them.
The 7.3 just feels like waiting for a stripper to show at a bachelor party and then have the audacity to show up 2 decades too late. Basically new to the industry. Zero after market support , in the light of what G.M. has BEEN doing with the LS ,and now more affordable than ever. Complete business have been built on the LS in motorsports. Why has Ford waited so damn long ? Especially after the 5.4 debacle.
Signed;
Not feeling it Ford.
Number please. Talk is cheap.
