We love the wagons on the REVan Evan channel. Abe Tango and REVan Evan get a look at Kevin Schweizer's 1980 Mercury Foxbody with a 7.3L Godzilla fed by twin-turbos. It makes over 1,150 rear-wheel horsepower and runs mid-8s in the quarter mile. If you like the content here please consider subscribing and also drop a comment and hit the like button. Thank You!

@landrelarose9963 9 месяцев назад
Thank you, Kevin. That's quite an amount for a product big block Ford engine. I believe Ford is producing an auto sports block for that size of engine for people who want to go racing. They have a different name for that engine. The exception to this is that I don't remember what they named it. Yes, get that fuel map sorted first and then the timing. That's what Rob Dahm did with his four rotor rotary engine, which he put on an all wheel drive chassis dyno. That engine produced slightly more than 1200 horsepower on that dyno. That third generation RX7 is my absolute favourite car. What's my favorite Ford? A 1935 three window deluxe coupe. Why? It's because of its gorgeous grill. It's similar to the '34's except the bars don't come to a point at the bottom. In the event that you're interested in seeing it, type it into that browser of that device you have. I often looked at them. What are other incredible Ford vehicles? 1960 Galaxy two door Starliner, 1957 Ford Custom, the one with the hooded front lights and the rectangular parking lights, the 2964 427 Fairlane Thunderbolt drag car, only for racing though, 1963 and a half Galaxy, 1957 Thunderbird supercharged Y block, 1956/57 Lincoln Mark II, the 1936 Lincoln model K Lebaron two door Coupe, a 1938 Lincoln three window coupe, a 1972 Ford Grand Torino, a 1970 1/2 Ford Falcon, a 1967 Ford LTD 2 door hardtop sports coupe, any of the ten years of the Pinto, obviously with a Ford big block engine in it, don't additionally forget the second generation Ford GT supercar, and Ford's crowning achievement, the best Mustang that will possibly ever be sold, the GTD. There'll be approximately 2000 of them going to be built up here in Canada, in a city named Markham, in a shop called Multimatic, which is one of the greatest racing teams and engineering companies in the world. The suspension system that they developed that originally was built for the second generation Ford GT will be in this Mustang. In the event that you didn't see it on RU-vid, you should do that as soon as possible. It's an absolute an amazing car. They have much more content than I do. Are there any more vehicles that I could that I prefer that you might want to know about? How about the Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II? Then there are the Torino Tallagata's. As you possibly were able to guess, I'm a Ford person. My father worked in Niagara Falls Ontario at the glass plant that was there for many years. That's one of the reasons why I'm a Ford person. That's all I'm going to type.

Let's face it the "godzilla" is a truck motor for Ford f350 box trucks..ya the LS guys did the same things with the 6.0s but even in stock form the zilla eats lifters. Atleast a 6.0 Ls truck motor with a 75mm turbo stock untouched block can get to the 7s on a stock ecu...check out sloppy mechanics...many people in that group have gone 7.99s on stock motors....7.99s is 7s right?

​@@revanevanwith all due respect, it's probably best to pull your head out of the sand and look at what other cars do. I get it, you're bought and paid for by Ford, but let's not pretend like the Godzilla is a good engine option, it's not even Ford's best engine option. That title belongs to the coyote which midnight performance has used to run 7.80s, unopened in a 3500+lb S550. But as your request, here is the smallest LS, a 4.8 running 7s. And unlike the Godzilla, the 2.5L smaller LS didnt need rods and pistons to run a quicker number than what this Godzilla is estimated to do. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-34ZL4Hyd8EI.htmlsi=OxN8KPPoYKEUjELg
