@@nickwebb9937 False. They sound different. The Ford windsor has a distinct sound. I can easily tell the difference by just listening to them. Anyone with good hearing can.
You guys are terrific. I’m a little rusty and you’ve helped me out immensely for when it’s my turn. Mines a 23 Lariat 7.3. What an amazing power plant. BTW YOU HAVE A BAD ASS TRUCK.❤
Just a heads up but when you were talking about lobe separation you were looking at lobes for 2 different cylinders instead of lobe separation for the same cylinder. In this engine, for example, the 1st lobe and the 3rd lobe go to cylinder number one and the 2nd lobe and the 4th lobe go to the next cylinder, on so on. No 2 lobes side by side will go to the same cylinder on an in block cam V engine. 15:34
I’m not quite sold on a heads and cam kit for this powerplant quite yet. Hopefully with a better intake it’ll at least get to the 70+ HP gain area. But it’s a start, still lots of promise for this engine.
Look at the BTR Truck Norris cam. It has a tight LSA and makes good torque down low and power gains up top with relatively mild cam timing. Because the LSA is tight it's pretty lumpity despite the mild lift/duration numbers. I'd like to see something like that for the 7.3.
I can see it really competing with the l.s pushrod big displacement and bore when some more mods come out I think we will see alot of swaps being done on the strip
@@Theupstateidiots Newer GM style pushrod V8s aren’t even LS’s anymore, if your talking about older generation GM 5.3s, 6.0s, and 6.2s, then hell yeah, those were just better to start with overall, especially since parts are so available on those engines. But newer style GM V8s aren’t so hot as they used to be, personally I think this 7.3 is a better engine overall than any modern GM V8 , especially because you don’t gotta deal with that direct injection crap either.
@@NMTrucks did a full rebuild at 200k. No issues but phasers we're loud. Stage 2 xfi comp cams, pac racing springs, ported the heads, locked out phasers, melling oil pump, King bearings, hyper pistons, performance rings, Ford performance rollers and followers, OBX, long tubes, and just put on a 3" MBRP exhaust. Tune by power hungry performance.
Not to long ago I got to fool around with a 427 clevor setup with a big boy s488 and kinda fell in love, I'm still a die hard gm guy and ls swap nearly everything I've owned. I really like the 7.3 from what I've seen on vids and read its definitely gonna be a bad bitch but IDK about the oil pump setup. Hell I bought a Fairmont wagon 4 or 5 years ago that was built in the early 2000's and was the first 6 second (1/8) car I got to ride in when I was 11 or 12 in 01 or 02 it's a stock suspension and location street/strip car. It was gonna get a 4.8 and a turbo when I bought it but ended up letting it sit until a few months ago. I ended up buying a buddy's old nitrous dart shp block 408 clevor with speed master heads I'm gonna freshen it up throw some new rods, pistons and cam for all the boost from a gt5591 I got laying around and Holley efi. Maybe before 2021 ends I will have my first SBF car!
That's how to do it. There's a stock bodied radial '70 Falcon made 2819hp on a mainline hub dyno, with 450 cube SBF. Just google Dandy engines Falcon dyno. Not sure how many ls engines could even match that !!
So how did you go about putting a catch can? I just bought signal cab dually 2020 7.3 with 13,000 miles and couldn’t help but notice how much oil was in the in the combustion chamber in your video. Thanks for the knowledge on the alien mechanicals
I thought there were a few other performance shops getting 700+ on an engine dyno with head work (Factory castings), intake and cam. That truck rolls out and sounds great!
So how much does all this cost with exhaust and headers and cam and heads? I have a 2020 termor i wish i could do this to and even get a Whipple installed.
WHAT, YOUD RATHER HAVE A 5/16 THICK 10 INCH LONG PIXIE STICK DRIVE YOUR OIL PUMP? DONT YOU KNOW HOW MUCH BETTER THAT DESIGN IS COMPARED TO OTHER ENGINES FOMOCO HAS BUILT? LOL!!
@@sorryimajerk735 i up graded my oil pump drive rods in all mine to arp just for the added peice of mind. I trust that way more than any belt trying to live in a patroilium based lubricanted hot engine. . They could have stuck with the crank driven oil pump and not created another potential big issue down the rd. But that just me looking at since I do all my own maintenance.
@@sorryimajerk735 this variable oil pump is garbage.....I hope they make an upgrade soon. Several of our fleet trucks have failed. 1 20,21,and my 22 is making noise in the valve train ... It's a rube Goldberg pos setup.
That's why I love my old muscle cars...heads and cam on a old fox body gave you so much more than 57hp...lol and my old Galaxie with a 390 gained over 120hp with heads and cam with high flow manifolds. But i will say this fords technology and willingness to build another OHV makes me smile and with the power numbers these new engines put out the old engines are outclassed by smaller displacement more efficiently designed engines. The coyote is a special kind of engine. I smile every time i wrap the tach to 7500rpm. I own a 16 Gt with a few mods and 6 speed and I love the power of the coyote it may not have the tq of other engines but that coyote has legs for days and in most races i it chases down the adversary...but I will say this I am saving up for a 7.3 I wanna put it in a older ride mid 60s-73 car or truck or maybe a crown vic.....maybe I should buy a nova or a 55 chevy and put the 7.3 in it and start a Ford Godzilla in everything like they do with those junk ls engines...maybe guys will start putting Ford engines back in Ford Vehicles...
exactly what i thought , even though they are probably MLS gaskets, it looked like the had some kind of printed sealer on them. Bit risky for the amount of work..
Just some general rambling on my part here... I can imagine how strong this would be with appropriately flowing intake, throttle body, cam, heads, headers and exhaust, coupled with a supercharger. With the cam specced with the supercharger in mind, I can imagine LOTS of power out of this thing. The key, I'm thinking, is making sure the intake is sized appropriately to provide the supercharger enough air, and the exhaust is appropriately sized to ensure little to no backpressure. However, oversizing some of these components could lead to loss of torque (like if the headers have too large a primary diameter, lower velocity will reduce the cylinder scavenging effect, and so forth). It's good to see someone working on development for the internals for this engine; it'll be interesting to see what cam/head combos become available.
Why anyone would chose this over a 6.7L for performance is beyond me. A stock 6.7L with a basic improved level 1 tune will put down a ton more power than this. A full tune on stock block will put down near 650whp and 1200tq, blowing the doors off this build for cheaper and less work. Now, if you want to take this motor and throw it in another platform entirely, then boost it or whatever, that's great. I'm sure it's the new "LS swap" everyone's been craving. However, using this in the F250 for "performance" reasons is like modding a V6 Mustang/Camaro. lol I do appreciate seeing this video and what the 7.3L has going for it. Thanks for the insight.👍
@@arkhsm I don't have crappy diesel issues. I bought a $500 tuner and removed the DPF system (free). No issues since and can enjoy 650hp/1200tq all day long. There's no way that 7.3 can compete with that. Not to mention 6.7 diesels running around with almost a million miles now. Not going to happen in a gasser. But, by all means, explain the issues you speak of.
Catch can on a gasser? Sorry for my lack of understanding, coming from diesel side of the trucks. Same things as on those? About to order a 7.3 F350, dont need the diesels any longer, but always into improvements to save wear and tear.....
You guys remember early days of actual LS1s? The aluminium block 5.7s and tuning with LS1 Edit? Doubtful as it was 25 years ago nearly, but it was comedy. I remember 375rwhp was massive. How about the sweet piston slap and oil consumption. Yah, had em new. Aftermarket catches up. Amazing platform. The trans is HUGE in this truck, the 6R140 planet set is easily the size of a 4L60E input drum...and this has the 10 speed! Put your H/C/I 6.0 behind an Allison. See what it lays out. It too will be sad. No brand is perfect. Ever.
Great Video. WOW! the final results. Question on the 7.3L Godzilla. My truck is in the Ford shop after a problem with starting and cam shaft codes plus a few more codes. They say that the Camshaft Phaser is bad. The Camshaft positioning module was replaced and didn't resolve the issue. Can you point out in your great video where that phaser is located? Thank you Happy New Year
I can kind of understand if you have one of the sports style trucks but having a really large truck they're mainly more for utility not being a hot rod
Looks like you inadvertently dodged the lifter failure issue by replacing early! Good to see it holding together a year later with boost! My 7.3 is 5 star tuned and mostly stock. Great workhorse
Small wheels on the back? On a Dynojet type dyno the tire size effects the power numbers. Typically, a larger tire shows less Hp. Do you think this played into your numbers?
You can't shift a heavy truck really hard like a car. Well you can but it's not a good idea for a few reasons. We can definitely be a bit harder on it than we are though
@@PalmBeachDyno Not knocking your project or your abilities - sorry if I came across that way. It's great that people are developing this package. And while I agree that a 7000lb truck can't/shouldn't shift like a 3000lb sports car, I was hearing a fair amount of slippage - I think even a flare-shift once. Due to the nature of the vehicle, you don't have the luxury of a softer converter to be able to protect the trans from shock loads, while bringing the apply pressures up to help the shifts. I think we agree that the trans will last longer if (when) you can control the shift feel and slippage.
@@willieshaw2522 exactly. I came straight to the comments to see if anyone else noticed the flare shifts and soft shifts. Gotta tune up those shifts at least back to stock shift speed.
At times new hi tech is too much work for me. Interesting to watch. Hope soon ARP will make regular three step head bolts and cam bolt for the Ford 7.3. 😎
@@PalmBeachDyno did you have to line up timing marks on the crank to the cam? was the engine at TDC on #1 cylinder? did you have to anything to the oil pump? Thank you for your time
Retired Professional Mechanic. I'm not sold, I'd still go diesel. I'm a Ford guy, love the 460, but for everyday use a diesel would have much more pulling power.
I love the truck with the options that it has and the amount of power and sound it puts out is just a beautiful package. I would daily that everywhere as long as I could afford the 93 octane wink 😉!
I ordered a 20-22 F350 super cab in October 21 and should be getting it hopefully in April I did get the 7.3 with the 10 speed. I might try to do something with it. Don't know yet what's the name of your wheels?? And I thought your video was pretty good. Thanks, Gary.
love hearing coyote guys take apart a pushrod motor and being horrified at the lack of tech
The lack of technology is what will make the 7.3 so popular among truck owners.
Why? Coyotes are noisy and complicated, good head design and proven tech will always win.
@@noone42069 dohc have been around for 30-40 years in regular cars
@@noone42069 the coyote head flows better than anything, dohc really isn’t complicated either…
Speaking of, I don't know that I could put in any cam without a ton of lube

You can't shift a heavy truck really hard like a car. Well you can but it's not a good idea for a few reasons. We can definitely be a bit harder on it than we are though
@@PalmBeachDyno Not knocking your project or your abilities - sorry if I came across that way. It's great that people are developing this package. And while I agree that a 7000lb truck can't/shouldn't shift like a 3000lb sports car, I was hearing a fair amount of slippage - I think even a flare-shift once. Due to the nature of the vehicle, you don't have the luxury of a softer converter to be able to protect the trans from shock loads, while bringing the apply pressures up to help the shifts. I think we agree that the trans will last longer if (when) you can control the shift feel and slippage.
@@willieshaw2522 exactly. I came straight to the comments to see if anyone else noticed the flare shifts and soft shifts. Gotta tune up those shifts at least back to stock shift speed.
What’s the cam specs on the new cam? Couldn’t find anything
At times new hi tech is too much work for me. Interesting to watch. Hope soon ARP will make regular three step head bolts and cam bolt for the Ford 7.3. 😎
how did you all put the engine back in time?
What do you mean?
@@PalmBeachDyno did you have to line up timing marks on the crank to the cam? was the engine at TDC on #1 cylinder? did you have to anything to the oil pump?
Thank you for your time
Sounds really strong when your laying on it
So there was "hidden" rev limiters?
Holy shit! She moves!
Dont the new coyote have them cam phasers ?. I know them things caused issue in 5.4.
sounds like my old cammed mustang. this is fords first ever variable pushrod v8.
Retired Professional Mechanic. I'm not sold, I'd still go diesel. I'm a Ford guy, love the 460, but for everyday use a diesel would have much more pulling power.
So with just a cam in a 7.3 410 rwhp and 445 lbs of torque on 91 octane at 3200 ft elevation and on a mustang dyno isn't to bad?
I wasnt very impressed with the numbers but it seems to pull very well, about the same as my fbo 2013 f150 so thats crazy in a 3/4 ton
New numbers coming soon 😄
I love the truck with the options that it has and the amount of power and sound it puts out is just a beautiful package. I would daily that everywhere as long as I could afford the 93 octane wink 😉!
Seen a few vids where parts can't be had. Is just because the 7.3 is so new?
10:46 lotta guys say that doesn’t affect the Dyno at all
I have a 2021 f35 reg cab 7.3 would u be interested in tuning it?
Sure, give us a call at 561-571-1173 or email support@pbdyno.com
Only 50hp gain with heads and cam.for the average person that's big cost for not a big gain.
I mean it’s not a huge power gain but he’s getting better sound and probably better throttle response and torque
It’s not peak power that really matters though. It’s the power under the curve that really makes a difference for a street driven car.
I ordered a 20-22 F350 super cab in October 21 and should be getting it hopefully in April I did get the 7.3 with the 10 speed. I might try to do something with it. Don't know yet what's the name of your wheels?? And I thought your video was pretty good. Thanks, Gary.
What's the cam specs?
How much for the heads and cam and to do the job
Is that a mild cam in that thing?
I thought these trucks had a hard 5,700rpm limit that couldn't be tuned around yet the 2-3 shift was a hard 6k
