Godzilla 7.3 Swap

[EricM]

It’s almost like you have no idea what you’re talking about, which is par for the course with your posts on here. Your little theory doesn’t add up considering I own a Gen 2.

You’re nothing more than a worthless Gen 1 fanboy and a troll; you contribute nothing to this forum except for stirring the pot because you’re insecure and feel threatened by the newer trucks that outperform yours in every aspect. You constantly interject snide comments and talk trash on the newer trucks to make yourself feel better about your slow old rust bucket. Get a life.

Being an insuilting ***** as usual. Par for your course.

Again, nobody cares what you think. Your opinions means less than zero.

What are you swapping it into?

2010 Raptor once the 6.2 dies. I want a better trans as well so i'm going to do the entire drivetrain.

I recently finished a GenV L86 8 speed swap into my 95 Bronco and it was pretty painful, mainly around trans tuning.
And yeah i know, lots of grief from swapping out a perfectly good 351W for a chevy but the Coyote was too wide and no one was doing 7.3 swaps when i started the project.

Once i finished my mid travel setup and do some trips this winter i'll get a motor pallet from Mars and start.

i watched a few of this guys videos about putting 7.3L in some broncos.. doing really nice work if you decide to do it again..

Thanks, i think ive seen this. Mine is really awesome now though, i'm about 95% done with just some small electrical to do and a final dyno tune for a few more tweaks to the trans programming.

Soooooo glad I was on Vacay for a couple weeks while the 3.5-7.3 debate raged on..lol
Like I mentioned in my original post, the 7.3 swap into a Gen 1 makes a lot of sense to me.

I spent some time discussing this engine's design with Brian Wolfe.
For those that don't know that name, Brian is the retired Director of Ford Racing, so when it comes to what this engine was designed for I trust what he says, more than anyone else on this forum. The dude is legit the grand father of Godzilla performance and and straight from FORD.. he is in the know.

Brian told me point blank that the engine was designed with performance in mind, then dumbed down to make it fit the truck application.
He said they knew exactly what they wanted to get out of it from the very start, and performance came before utility.
So don't believe the garbage that its the wrong engine for a performance application.

Wahhh?

FordTechOne- For well over the last year, has spouted off about how this engine cannot rev, cannot breathe, and is simply a dump truck engine. Surely he knows better than the guy who designed it.

wouldnt the extra heat from the engine reduce the life of the shock?
