Could Ford be testing Godzilla in a Mustang?
- Thread starter TORQUERULES
- Start date
I notice that 239 area code.
That appears to be the case.
The cylinder pressure/RPM management is really remarkable to do that.
Watch Evan Smith's video. Ford had just such an intake.
That’s the video that made me think of it

The secret is now out in the open but it isn't what you think it is.
Back in March of this year, a weird Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 test mule was seen testing out on the streets with a massively weird hood bulge. It's something that no one has ever seen before, and there were many speculations as to what it actually was.We partook in the bevy of guesses before, but now's the time to learn what's really under that odd hood, courtesy of REVan Evan on YouTube with the help of Mark Wilson from Ford.
If you're one of those who guessed that it's a 7.3-liter pushrod V8 mill inside that bonnet, you're correct. That awkward bulge was actually added to give clearance to the upward-facing entry point into the intake manifold.
However, this doesn't mean that a Godzilla-powered Mustang is on its way. According to Wilson, this Shelby GT350 is simply a testbed for an upcoming manual transmission control pack for the 7.3L pushrod V8 crate engine. It will be available for purchase in the fourth quarter of this year.
Of note, the massive Godzilla V8 crate engine with a 10R140 automatic transmission control pack is currently available through Ford Performance for under $20,000. If we're to guess, the one with the manual transmission control pack will be around that ballpark as well.

They could also be showing us the new hood lineup for the new production Mustang too! ;-)
