The Ford Godzilla engine is a V8 engine offered by the Ford Motor Company. The engine is intended to replace the 6.8-liter Modular V10 engine,[1][3] and started appearing in the Ford E-Series vans and Ford Super Duty pickup trucks for the 2020 model year.[3][4]

It is also available as a crate engine.[5]

Attributes

Camshaft: Variable valve timing
Piston: Hypereutetic aluminum alloy
Connecting rod: Cracked powdered metal
Crank: Forged
No Variable displacement (for durability)
Knock sensors shared with the Ford Boss engine
Siamesed cylinders with saw cuts between cylinders to increase cooling capacity
Variable oil pump for fuel economy[6]

Because the engine uses overhead valves actuated by pushrods, it is smaller than many of the overhead camshaft Ford Modular engines, and can be fitted to older cars.[6]

Common Applications

The 7.3L gas V8 is available in its highest state of tune (430 hp (321 kW) @5500 RPM and 475 lb⋅ft (644 N⋅m) @4000 RPM) for the F-250 and F-350, F450; a detuned 'Premium' version (350 hp (261 kW) @3900 RPM and 468 lb⋅ft (635 N⋅m) @3900 RPM) is fitted to Ford F-600 and F-700 trucks and E-Series van chassis.[4] An 'economy' tune, available only in the E-Series, lowers output further to 300 hp (224 kW) @3750 RPM and 425 lb⋅ft (576 N⋅m) @3250 RPM in the interest of fuel economy. The 'premium' tune is intended as a direct replacement for the 6.8L V10, while the 'economy' tune replaces the 6.2L V8.[3]
