Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What is required to make this engine run in my vehicle?
This is an advanced swap requiring significant supporting components. You will need:

• An aftermarket ECU and wiring harness to control the fuel injection and ignition.

• A complete front accessory drive kit (M-8600-M50B).

• A compatible transmission (Tremec Magnum XL, 4L80E, etc.) and a custom driveshaft.

• A heavy-duty cooling system and custom exhaust.

Q2: Can this engine be used with a carburetor?
Yes, but it requires an aftermarket intake manifold designed for the 7.3L Godzilla platform to accept a carburetor. The engine does not include an intake manifold, giving you the flexibility to choose between EFI and carburetion.

Q3: Is this engine streetable and can it run on pump gas?
Yes, the Megazilla is engineered to be a streetable performance engine. With its 9.5:1 compression ratio and intercooled supercharger, it is designed to run reliably on 93-octane premium pump gas.

Q4: How does this differ from the standard 7.3L Godzilla crate engine?
The standard Godzilla (M-6007-M50VA) is a naturally aspirated 430 HP engine. The Megazilla is a fully built, supercharged version with forged internals, different cylinder heads, and a different camshaft profile, resulting in a massive 612 HP. It is a completely different level of performance. For the base engine, see the [Ford Performance 7.3L Godzilla Crate Engine].

Q5: What kind of vehicles is this engine best suited for?
This engine is ideal for:

• Restomod Mustangs, Cougars, and Torinos

• High-Performance F-100 and Bronco builds
