7.3L Godzilla Runs 10s, Stock, in a Cobra Jet

[BigPoppa]

Apparently, Ford seriously underrated the engine.

The guys who swapped one into a Cobra Jet claim 500hp/500ft-lb.

Stock 7.3L Ford Truck Engine Pushes Mustang Cobra Jet to a 10-Second Quarter-Mile

 

[Gpcalero]

Wow!! That's impressive.

The urge to build a 7.3L 10R80 Fox with a Ford control pack is strong!

I'd like to see what the coyote runs NA in the same CJ setup.

Exactly.

Plenty of 2018+ stock mustang 5.0's have been trapping at or near 122 for a few years now........... at 4000+ lbs race weight.

Not sure I believe that one. Totally stock and trapping 122 in at 4000+, I’d have to see it.

My car trapped 118 totally stock to the air filter in 3500 DA.

There are more documented 120+ runs than I can count on the East and Midwest in more favorable weather conditions.........

Clinked on link that said that it ran a 10 sec quarter mile when it should have said 11 sec quarter mile.

Yea, CJ setup is a gutted solid axle car that's what 3400lbs right?

Meh, 10.97 counts. I mean, if the driver farts at the 60' mark, you're deep in the 10.969s.

article says 3280 w/ driver for this one, around 100lbs over a coyote build

bingo, that th400 tranny, 4500 stall and 3200 lb car with driver had a lot to do with that ET...it's still cool though...just wait till guys really start messing this motor.

I thought it said 3200 with driver lol... tin can baby.

Absolutely agree. I think its a bad ass motor that would make a KILLER Fox body build where space is limited.

Side note.. i chuckled when the article mentioned the motor would be getting "cams" soon. Idiots.

 

[BigPoppa]

Yeah, it's not about the car's setup. It's about how much potential this engine has as a cheap swap. There are going to be tons of these things in junkyards in the next few years and bolt-ons should hit 600hp and fully built all-motor setups pushing over 800hp. This motor is outrageous.

Ford--"Playing catch-up to GM since, forever"

Yes, its exciting, but the LS has been doing this type of stuff for 25 years already.

Leave it to Ford to finally bring something to the field, only to have it offered at $7k lmaooooooooooooooo.

Seems cheap to me.

Well, yes but no.

how many factory 445ci LS motors are you pulling from the wrecking yard? I don’t know what the max will be for this engine but i would expect to get close to 500ci when stroked.

Impressive considering a hellcat traps 127-130 with a lot more power.

To me it falls in line with being more in the average or on the lower side for a new engine. $7k is actually really cheap for a brand new motor out of the box, and especially for one with so much potential. I buy reman motors for cars that to the customer cost on average $3500-4500 and that is for every day, run of the mill vehicles. Remans for like BMWs is anywhere from $6k-11k which would be just for their basic 3.0L inline 6. A reman 5.7 HEMI Long Block is $6k alone so not even fully dressed.

That's crazy.
