I have a Type 65 at my office, I just swapped a Ford 7.3 and built some headers and mounted the engine.
Feel free to Roast me.

Personally, I LOVE It!!!
Well done lads! 👍🏼
But then, I’m the guy that installed a turbocharged BBC + a Powerglide into an FFR ‘35 pickup…..
Once again with an 88 mm Turbo, Big Block Chevy powered, ‘35 Hot Rod Pickup
No idea why you think anyone would want to roast you. Well done and congratulations.
My Type 65 Coupe: Ordered May 27, 2021. Arrived November 19, 2021.
I would like to treat my gas pedal as a binary operator. It would be nice to get the cooperation of everyone in front of me.
I think it's badass. I never thought a Godzilla would fit.
How low does the oil pan hang?
I see that the 5.2 aluminator puts out 580bhp, what is the size difference between the 5.2 and 7.3? other than the obvious 2.1L lol.
Complete Kit, Gen 2 Coyote w/Gen 3 Intake, and 3.55 IRS.
Ya that was my question. Other than saying it can be done, any specific rationale for the Godzilla? I think it’s well over 100lbs difference in weight.
You need the Cobra Pan from INdy Power Products
More of a traditional motor (pushrod), fits nice, 600hp and 600ftlbs with a cam change. New takeouts are about $5k
Well two completely different engine families for one and about $10K or so on the cost of the engine. The Godzilla is a torque monster, basically a truck engine. The 5.2 XS is a stroked Coyote with the same rev happy nature. So I will suggest the driving experience, while similar in numbers, will be completely different. To me, the biggest difference is the weight. I do not like the idea of more weight up front and the Godzilla does that.
MK4 base kit, 2004 Mach 1 donor, 4.6L DOHC, TR-3650 5-speed, narrowed stock axle with 3.55 gears and TruTrac, PS, PB, ABS, 17" Halibrand replica wheels, started 12/2011, registered 9/2014, sold 3/1/2018.
1970 Mustang Fastback Coyote powered Boss 302 tribute. Started 10/14/16.
Gen 3 Coupe Base Kit non-donor build. Ordered 4/5/2024 to be received August 2024.
Oh, well, yes on anti-social media that is the idea. They have to make as much noise as they can to rise above all the rest of the narcissists.
I like the idea of Godzilla. I mean, how many engines can crank out high levels of torque and horsepower and still run 250K miles without an overhaul? I exaggerate, of course, but there is a truth to that. The engine simply does not have to work as hard as a Coyote to make the same levels of power and torque.

I have some experience tracking my 2020 GT350 and my Raptor R that I owned had a 5.2. On the flip side my other friend just broke his crank in half in his GT500. I have been doing R&D and been involved in building parts for engines for Back Draft and Superperformance, the 7.3 even though it weighs a bit more is a great N/A motor for the Cobra type cars, last year I built parts for about 50 of these engines in these cars. My fox body AKA Foxzilla has a 7.3 with a supercharger, detuned it makes over 1,000 at the tires.
we just dynoed a motor with a cam swap and 8 stack injection, it made over 640 hp on pump gas with 630 ftlbs of torque. Godzilla take out engines (new from EV conversions are about $5k too)..
