How would or wouldn’t benefit from going from 5 liter to say a 6 liter? As they say no replacement for displacement.
I'm a sci-fi guy and am amazed with the universe. I know you're a sci-fi guy too. Wondering if we can do a sci-fi or space oriented livestrwam. I just learned today nasa wrecked a satellite into an asteroid . Personally sounds to me. Interstellar is my number 1 movie. That black hole is an actual simulation calculated and was verified to be accurate this year
Vettes went ohc and ford going pushrod. We live in a alternate dimension.
Ps, Chevy guys were hating 4 cam fords since I’ve been alive. And I could give two fucks about the “megazilla”
Alex….you’re the man. Period
The 430hp is CRANK HP, too (approx 350 wheel HP with an automatic trans). The mildly built naturally aspirated pump gas "antique" iron-block 427w in my 2012 puts down almost 500 to the wheels. The only impressive thing about the godzilla (to me) is that it's an aluminum block. When I built my 427, I couldn't justify the $4000 cost of an aluminum block.
I heard that the "megazilla" will be making 600 crank HP. There's a new intake available for the motor (replaces the up-swept throttle body with a down-swept one, along with a different plenum and reshaped runners. I'm betting that intake will be on the megazilla, along with a different (non-truck) cam. Just thinkin' out loud.
Someday I’ll catch a full live stream. In the meantime I’m glad there’s replays to watch at 5 am. Good stuff sir thank you!
Great show!!!!
Ford brought Jack Nasser over from England back in the late eighties early nineties. He brought over the European engineers with him and this came the modular engine. 4.6/5.4/6.8L the 90’s where pathetic years for performance. That when racers where pulling the 4.6 and putting in moldy warmed over 302/351’s in it place . Stock for stock the LS engine embarrassed the 4.6/5.4L. The modular engine was horrible to work on and or modify. GM to the Ford push rod engine and perfected it over and over until what you see today. They kind did the same thing with the coyote with the new corvette ZRwhateverthefuckitis. It took Ford 20 years to get the modular engine to finally make some power. It’s a derivative of the 4.6L Mach1 Murader engine. I for one am glad Ford came back to push rods. Ford also looks at from a warranty perspective also. Less labor intensive when warranty claims are submitted. We have just seen the tip of the iceberg of the new 6.8/7.3L as far as FACTORY performance. Love the coyote! It has its place on history just like the Boss engines did back in the late 60’s early 70’s… I commend GM and Dodge for staying with the push rod engine. I mean after all top fuel is making what 10K horsepower with pushrods with a max CID of 500…GM beat us with our old technology back in the 90’s 2000’s…. I think now we are beating them with their old technology. I’ve worked on a handful of 7.3L’s…. Internally it’s an impressive engine.
I like the 7.3 and hope the 6.8 does well. For those of us with heavy cars (1972 Gran Torino) that are not interested in forced induction it hits the check boxes. I can have decent HP (cruising) with a broad torque curve. I can also have a smaller package than the 429/460 based big block, but keep 445cid (7.3L). All of this in a smooth runninng engine with fuel injection, a strong block and rotating assembly, better oiling than my current 351 Cleveland, and fully assembled. Ford Racings 535hp 427cid is $14, 825. The 445cid Godzilla is $7,999 and you still have room for heads work or cam if desired, plus it already has manifolds and fuel injection ready to go. With the Ford Racing 535 (427cid) it doesn't even come with the intake manifold, exhaust manifold, carb, etc. What has kept me from jumping on the 7.3 bandwagon is the lack of a PCM/Wiring kit from Ford, but now that the kit has been released for the Automatic, I'm hoping that it won't be long for the manual version. I will say that if my goals were to go forced induction I would not be looking at the 7.3, the Coyote would be the only option. I do own a Coyote btw (2012 GT), so I'm not a coyote hater. The great Coyote content is why I tune into this channel.
Try liquid death, it's carbonated water but isn't over Wellming and has good taste.
The old 6.7 'stroke was internally coded the scorpion upon release. It's the name of the architecture.
I gotta say, the godzilla is interesting to those of us who race big cube motors because of how BEEFY everything is, it's got head studs twice the size of what the LS has, exhaust studs are the same story, the mains would take a nuke to the face and laugh. The thing is a smaller architecture with hardware and sealing capability that is simply overkill for the size. I guarantee we'll see "street cars" (read street legal drag cars) that push 40lbs of boost on a billet bottom end godzilla.
“Vetted” has tremendous value. Any dumbass who can’t see that needs to get a Darwin Award.
So why is is meaty saying that you are useless on putting on the turbo that’s why you sold it…..
Just curious, I know coyotes love rpms and that's where their power is now with big displacement 6.8 or 7.3 push rod motor do they not make low end torque better than a DOHC motor? I just think in the sense of towing say 20,000 lbs would it be better to have a screaming DOHC cam or a push rod down low grunt? But myself personally I'm like you I just don't see the need in that many liters unless it make the power different down low simply for towing.
My T-Mobile 5G sucks or is it YouTube throttling back on your videos
The Alex remix of the song at the end:
I'm TVF playa Three Valve Free
That mean I ain't got no Mazda keepin up with me
So I'm G A P P P I N G
On my way to the spot I blow em off in the weeds
LESSSS GOOOO
I got murder on my mind
Just saw this from big rv channel . Cool stuff on the 6.7
My yacht needs a new anchor, so I'll be ordering one.
I hear that Stangchoad wants to become a sponser Alex.
I so agree nothing to be excited to be about the new 650.
Would be nice for Ess to make a kit for gen 1 mustangs
Just installed g3 kit 110 mm pulley. Just a heads up I got the dw400 pump but it was running out of fuel , added a boost a pump and all is well.
999
Ford is so DRY!!!!!!!!
But Alex, why can’t we have displacement AND DOHC! Like….. imagine….. a 7 liter coyote
Dude. 5.0 is the biggest engine going in mustang going forward. Production wise.
I wish ess made a f150 kit.
Finally got enough service to start getting caught up in the videos after getting hammered by Ian. I’m really wanting an ESS I’m glad you’re throwing out all the knowledge on them. Keep up the good shit and I’ll keep watching.
Can I ask you a question about how tall you are? I’ve been busting my ass to lose weight and I’m down 73 lbs and my goal is 220-230 and I’d like to know approximately how I’d look. 20-25 carbs a day since February. 4 times a weeks two hours a day at the gym and 60 lbs to go.
#1 reason why Ford why back to pushrod, big cube engine for truck package only not cars. They needed engine for high torq at low RPM not high RPM screamer. 7.3 all about making torq for pulling not horse power. Coyote a great engine that works great in Mustang for that high RPM engine. Coyote engine is great engine using tech to make horsepower in small cube engine. But doesn't make torq for heavy truck or hauling. Also 7.3 was built for construction market for those who didn't want to mess with issues that diesel have. If you look at 7.3 cyl head design, high port, valves not inline like race engine cyl head
Add this everyone is sooooooo wrapped up with HORSEPOWER NUMBER. Ok so F1 engine making 900hp should be able to move heavy truck or pull heavy load? It couldn't get itself out of wet paper sack why because it doesn't make torque. Trucks market about having engine that makes torq, able to be lugged and pull heavy load.
