The new Godzilla 7.3 is a clean sheet design; has nothing to do with the older generation of Ford V8s. Similar to how the Gen III Hemi and LS and newer engines are unrelated to their predecessors of the same name/size.

Regardless, the 7.3 is a cast iron HD truck engine first and foremost. It was never intended for light weight or high performance applications. Interesting and cool to see that some shops are modifying it for more power.

It would be cool though for Ford to make an AL crate version of this 7.3 with higher flow heads/cam etc. Easy 600-700 NA.

Would be cool, but I don’t think they’d ever be able to recover the engineering and tooling costs through crate engine sales.

the FE block is stronger, allows for more compression & way more sustainability w/ boost. Bigger engines often have thinner cylinder walls comparatively speaking...FE > AL in that scenario.

Ford made a block designated FE. Nothing to do with the composition of the block. Fe iron versus aluminum. Maybe a misunderstanding?

The 3.5ho is a modded engine...
For someone that claims to have the most superior truck on the forum, I would have thought you would understand the word "modded".

Your post's are akin to reading the crawler at the bottom of the TV screen on CNN. You know what you're putting up is BS, but you cannot help it.
