Get a 3.7 v6 badge and flip around the numbers lol

I like how humble he is, we cant be great at everything right off the rip. I heard no excuses, no; its the cars fault or something mustve went wrong, just straight up honesty... i can appreciate that

Clutch can't handle high RPMs, that's why you can't shift. Big reason the mt82 has a bad reputation.

For the 7.3, the MT-82 gear ratios are going to be too short since the engine won't spin them up high enough. I would try 3.31's or taller so you can put that low end torque down.

When he said while driving he listens for any noises!? OMG, I FELT THAT!!! I'm super OCD about my car being on the road! I don't even listen to the radio mostly, when you do your own work it changes everything... ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GUYS ATTITUDE! If it breaks, it breaks!!!🤷🏾‍♂️👍🏾

This is so awesome seeing such a young person working on their car and actually doing awesome stuff and not just intake and exhaust like most people who claim to be gear heads..... younstick with this brother. You are so young and I can totally see you having a massive channel with awesome content by the time your 25 my guy. I love what you got going on here. Lots of potential.

This dope af I’ve been following the build for a while now

All that torque, highway driving must be nice. Just lean into it a little and you're moving without changing gears

A different intake manifold on the 7.3 would probably improve the higher RPMs.

You are gonna need a Ben Calimer mt82. DO NOT use drag radials with an mt82 use bias ply tires. Awesome project man. Hats off to you for doing this

Dude , I LOVED this kid's personality in front of the camera. The easy going pace in which he speaks , as well as his technical knowledge of what he's doing, is awesome. Wish this kid the absolute MOST success in everything !

Love the opening throwback! The Godzilla is impressive but I do love the 18+ 5.0's- Ford did a fantastic job with the 3rd generation coyotes.

Follow Brian Wolfe on here. He's the God father of the 7.3, and building a street mustang with the 7.3

That’s what you call an honest video. Nothing is filtered, his knowledge, lack of knowledge, learning. It’s all right there, we’ll done and best of luck.

That 7.3L V8 really earns the name Godzilla!

Keep up the great work and keep learning, life is just one huge learning experience.

My dad MT82 would lock him out when he over rev on his shift even when it was brand new. But like you said trial and error. Good job!

18:15 to 18:18 PERFECT TIMING! He says "I did an EPIC burnout...." and there's an EPIC bolt of orangish-red lightning in the background! The Lord must've agreed and wanted to let us know he WASN'T lying about that burnout being EPIC!

That Godzilla is a beast, imagine it with a cam 🤔 Nice comparison though I bet ya the Godzilla is more fun to drive on the street with all that torque

A 7.3 Godzilla engine in a Mustang is fucking sick! Replacing the Coyote with it eliminates the one bad thing about a stock 5.0: low end torque. Only problem with the Godzilla is you need an intake to help the top end. Once you get that, you will send full bolt on Coyotes to gapplebee's easily. About the gear lockout at high RPMs, you need a stainless steel clutch line and... A NEW CLUTCH! The number 1 things that ruin these MT-82s is the stock clutch. They absolutely suck at handling high RPMs and will lockout at anything over 6000 RPM, ESPECIALLY on a quick shift. Which sucks because Coyote's are all HP, all their power is high RPM, it feasts all the way up to 7500 RPMs (with boss or 18+ intake). I can shift my dad's '14 5.0 with the MT-82 (with stock clutch) almost flawlessly, but from time to time it will lockout of 3rd and the clutch pedal will stick to the floor after a quick shift into 2nd. Sometimes it even refuses to go into 4th (very rarely). But yes, those stock clutches suck! Change it out! And do a flywheel, clutch, clutch pressure plate, hydraulic throwout bearing and stainless steel clutch line all at once. You will never have a problem with high RPM lockout again (other then user error lol). Have fun with the build though! I can't wait to see how far this 7.3 comes! Subscribed.

Thank you for paving the path for the GODZILLA swap!

Props for showing the whole thing and not editing it to try and look cool. 💪

to fix the 3rd gear lock out, you can either upgrade the clutch or get a Blowfish racing trans mount. The trans mount helped me out incredibly, no more lockout and I'm running a Supercharger.

Transmission upgrades, that trans has a well earned reputation.

Horse power sells cars, torque wins races! Lower rear tire pressure and shift the 7.3 earlier you dont need to red line each gear.

So I'm a old gear head and it makes me so happy so see you and others into American muscle vs that import shot. Great job!

The 7.3 looks like a 3v just bigger lol

Only Godzilla V Kong I'll ever watch.......good stuff......

Get rid of the mt-82. That will be a weak point once you get more hp and torque.

390hp aint shit this days but 390 ALL MOTOR now that's a whole different animal !

Great to see that you've got this thing all buttoned up and running. I knew that thing was going to be a torque monster. This Godzilla engine reminds me of the old 427 side oilers in a lot of different ways. In an AC Cobra it feels like someone hit you from behind when you're rolling and then hit the throttle. It will break traction in any gear. That thing's nasty, and you've got basically the same thing here with a few more cubes and way better reliability. You get this thing breathing a little better, it's gonna make the NA Coyote builds look silly.

Love this most replayed feature on RU-vid so i dont have to watch a 20 minute video to get to the good stuff

Like a comment before, look up 50 tussin. That’s his home track. He may give you some pointers.

Practice makes perfect God bless from Canada brother

I really hope an intake manifold and a final tune makes a huge change. Those are horrible numbers. Yes it makes good power low, but that's only good from a dig with an auto trans.

Neighbors with kids must love this guy!

Love this whole build. Love your determination and self motivation to do this....can't wait till you blow up you deserve it! Keep grinding man good work!

I grew up doing this type of stuff and you're on a whole other level. Super impressed by your fabrication/electrical skills. Keep it up. Good content.

Keep it up, kid. You’re doing great with this build. In the future, get an auto behind the Godzilla, and toss a cam in it. I had a 13 with the MT, hated that trans. Now own a 18 A10. As far as drag radials, if you keep it manual don’t go radials. It kills tears and trans. Do bias plys, they take and absorb the hit better.

The sound is orgasmic! The Godzilla is ridiculous!

Caressing the throttle body!! My precious..hahaha

Great job young man. I'd love to see the folk that think you've swapped in an LS get corrected !!

Them launches at the track had me like 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You should do a intake manifold spacer on the Godzilla, needs a little more rpms on the dyno to make the same peak power of the coyote,

Glad to see this video finally come around. I've been in suspense for what seems like months

You can tell that 7.3 is running out of airflow up top....curious to see it upgraded

It’s the last dying days for the big block and it’s not looking bad at all. I can’t wait to see these in the Bronco.

When you get locked out of shifting till rpm's drop it's a bad clutch. Not syncros.

7.3 has an interesting sound. It almost still sounds small block-ish despite being a relatively large engine.

7.3 Godzilla in a Mustang? That's insane.

Rear differential might need a clutch pack service. It would cause traction issues, seems like the passenger wheel is spinning more and when the car kicked out sideways it seemed like that passenger side was getting much more load.

The real Godzilla (a GTR) enters the chat...smiles...then pats little Godzuki on the head for trying

Nice video, get a tremec 3160 from a gt350, much better than a mt82.

Y'all need to give that thing a 7.3 badge

Freaking awesome man! I'd love to see the 7.3 become a popular swap. (as well as the TR-6060 it deserves). You're doing God's work bro!

First thing before you get the final tune is to change the air intake to draw the air from the outside.

Definitely need a short runner intake manifold and a big cam to help the top end power of the 7.3. Torque really falls off a cliff around 4500 rpm. With a curve like that, I can imagine you probably should be shifting around 5600-5800. Also since the 7.3 makes so much more torque you might consider switching to a 2.73 rear-end gear to help with traction.

Just got through the intro and had to give it a BIG 👍 😁 In the description you said it's been a big accomplishment for ya'll. Heck, that's a big accomplishment for anyone (at least for 99% of us)

Glad to see the Godzilla complete

I'll personally always prefer the engine I have to do less work to make more power with, but I've enjoyed this swap process and seeing the difference. That torque is crazy compared to the coyote and probably gives it the old-school "umph" most people are looking for. Congrats on a job well done, fellow Florida man.

love to see a carb and dizzy or mag on the 7.3

cant wait to see dyno numbers once the clutch/transmission gets sorted out on Godzilla. I say HP goes up by 20-30

Great video. Thanks for posting

Great update- I'm interested in the fact that the stock trans/clutch/ecu etc. function just fine with it- The power delivery looks like it would be a lot of fun- I have a feeling this big block will take nicely to mods!

I like how you show the behind the scenes

Oh and great job on Godzilla! As for drag racing….practice makes perfect. Also watch what the other guys are doing in the staging lanes, like checking tire pressure, icing the intake or adding ice to the inter cooler (for boosted cars), making sure your time is the correct one to use, etc. Great job on the swap!

We just not gonna mention the marauder shirt? 👀 Love to see one on the channel

Love the videos can’t wait to see what’s next. Hoping to eventually swap a Godzilla into my 2001 GT but waiting for the aftermarket parts to catch up to be able to do the swap. Gonna settle for a supercharger for now! Best of luck on your future endeavors!

Underrated video...we want more of that 7.3!!!! Time to drop in a cam, link up with some companies willing to build some mods for you!

I’m guessing that big ass motor makes 415 to the wheels …wow I was way off… what a turd! But props on the build

The genious you show when building these beasts will eventually show through in your ability to drive them. You learned how to build them through trial and error the driving part comes the same way.

This is such a great video! Thank you for this ❤️‍🔥

Such a great video! Variable cam timing locked out in 7.3? That’s gotta be killing some performance.

Awesome, I've been watching this build since day 1. So glad to see it finally going.

Love to hear this with flowmaster super 10s

Kong fell into safe mode on that launch..

All you can do is try and if you fail means first attempt in learning, try again. You have to see me shooting your drag racing is a lot better than my shooting. Good video.

Great stuff! I just got a little erked by how much he kept touching the paint. If you slide your hand across paint, it actually cuts into the clear leaving swirl marks.

Glad to see Godzilla roaming the streets 🍻 U definitely need practice at the track 😜 Great job with this & thanks for Dyno info 🍻

Loving the Mercury marauder “gods head” shirt but I’d love to do this swap in my crown vic someday

Good to see this beast rolling

Good job bruh. We all gotta start somewhere. Keep at it. You'll get it

I have been around the racing scene my whole life as my father was a drag racer and I am coming up as one. Rolling off the clutch and rolling into the gas keeping the rpms in your torque range, after practice you’ll be able to time when the clutch is fully engaged just before going full peddle at a speed that you can easily hold traction. Typing is hard to explain this but there is a lot of good videos on this method.

Love the Carol shelby intro!

That intro is sick !! Greetings from Mexico

The ol third gear lockout. Everyone once In a while my 2018 5.0 has that issue. It’s more common in the mt82 than it should be. If your at a very high rpm and you shift to third, if the clutch pedal isn’t completely down to the floor it will do that as well.

Working for Ford, I always wondered why we never made a mustang with a 6.2 or 7.3 liter, with the same head designs as the coyote, shoot, those cars would be monsters!!!! 😈

Ford is going to sell an intake for Godzilla soon that will fit under the hood. I am impressed how well Kong did. It really set a good benchmark for Godzilla to beat. We should not underestimate the awesome torque produced by Godzilla. Tons of potential.

that poor clutch just roasting ittttt.

7.3 is definitely a new chapter for the Ford Company. Great move despite the shitty EV world upcoming so fast.

That white harbor freight roll cart tho 😂

LEARN EVERY DAY!!!! God says that too!🤔🙏😇 CONGRATS!

Nice to see some honest dyno numbers finally. Too often I’ve seen shops trying to claim 450hp+ from bolt-ons on these Coyotes. The engines are rippers but to claim 70whp and more from simple bolt-ons… come on.

You are learning and we are following. It's all good.

I came on here with a plethora of Mustang jokes, what good is it if you can't have fun with it ?, but actually watched the whole video and I have to say you seem like a straight up cool guy. And the cars are both nice. Love how you gave no excuses, it is what it is type of vibe. Sure by now you've gotten better at the track, it just takes repetitions and like you said at least you were out there doing it. Subscribing and watching more videos. Can't wait to see how far you take these cars. BOOST !!!!! Great Job.

Reminds me of when I did the 5.4 swap in my Mustang 18 years ago. How awesome it was to put something bigger in it.

Bring it back to the track Friday night, the weather is supposed to be good, bring your drag radials. I've got a pair you can borrow if you need to.

Are you still retaining the VVT phasing with the 7.3?

Ford got tired of Ls”s kicking there ass and made the Godzilla. Great job on the swap it looks great I’m about to build me a street car seems like there coming back now but I have a ton of new parts ordered for my race car.
