In May Ford released a revised block that had a hole bored between the cylinders that connected to the coolant passage in the cylinder head rather than the older slit design. Mark my words, that slit is a death sentence if you run high boost!

People going bananas on the horse power comments for the stock crank. I think he was talking about turbo. Obviously centrifugal is harder in cranks. But it’s common for oem coyote cranks, ls cranks and even Honda cranks, all of which are forged, to make big boy hp. Just bc someone may have thrown some parts together and didn’t check squat and they grenaded their stock ls or coyote crank doesn’t mean it can’t be done or isn’t done all the time by real builders. The stock forged units are very good. And the blocks now days are also very good. I forgot to mention, many gtrs out there making north of 2000 wheel use a stock crank. Anyways those pistons look like mahle power pack 26 cc units aside from the compression ring insert. I am super pumped on this engine. I think this engine with a piston and rod upgrade will be strong enough for most of us knuckle heads. Very happy to have a ford pushrod engine that you don’t need to dick around with aftermarket crank and cam sensor setups etc. Wish ford would get away from dumb coils and go to a smart coil. But that’s just bc I don’t want to buy a coil driver to use the stockers lol.

The close proximity of the intake valve notch to the piston od will make it easy to burn the edge of the valve notch out of the piston if too much spark advance is set. The saw cut is good for cooling the inter-bore region on a heavily loaded truck engine, but may limit max overbore.

I think his stroke recommendations are way conservative, I would concur that for higher boost 4.1-4.2" stroke is probably for the best. Remember this is a 9.65" deck, an LS is a 9.2" deck, they run high boost on a 4"-4.1" stroke LS prettry regularly, a 3.622" or 3.856" stock LS/LT or L8T stroke is probably a better idea for over 1000-1500hp+ regular racing use, however for N/A work aftermarket 9.2" LS are frequently run with a 4.125"-4.25" stroke. I have seen than Callies is coming out with a 4.6" crank for the Godzilla which I am guessing is for n/a application. I figured with a 4.225"(0.005" over hone) bore and 4.6" stroke you can have a 522ci Godzilla and I would guess that with a shorter rod to allow more piston thickness and that ample cylinder thickness 1,000-1,200hp operation with boost or nitrous should be safe enough. 9.65"-9.2"=0.45"×2=0.90"+3.975"=4.875" So there's no reason even at that stroke with the added deck height that the rod can't be shortened a little if necessary and still allow at keast equal piston crown to what an LS with 4" stroke with moderate boost has. I would imagine that a stroker Godzilla should be able to be built with 800hp+ n/a and make 2,400hp+ on 3bar no problem, especially considering that a rod and piston engine with head work can make 750+hp already. Shame Ford didn't sneak in an easter egg in the Godzilla block design, since it has a 4.53" bore spacing, where it has FR9 Nascar headbolt pattern allowing one to buy a bare factory Godzilla block for $1,500(they were $995 for a short time) and put a set of cheap used Nascar FR9 heads on it. I still think Dart or someone is missing out on a goldmine if they produced affordable cast iron(instead of CGI) blocks (possibly with a taller deck for strokers) that can use all the cheap used Nascar R07 and FR9 heads and accessories. With the wide bore spacing that would mean much larger than the 4.185" bore also, surely more like 4.250"+ bores, which means 371ci instead of 358ci with a standard used NASCAR 3.25" crank and could mean 454ci with a 4" stroke at standard deck heaight without oil sprayers in the way and 511ci+ with a tall deck and a 4.5" crank, which are also number a Godzilla could be built too.

Does the factory save that much money per unit that they can't upgrade the engine to fully forged (everything) and then be able to promote as such ? I'm sure in a $50-$80k truck they can hide the extra $300-$700 'cost'.

@brentiaconelli6484

It's really overkill in the strength department and is only steel because its the cheapest way to get the job done. It also transfers significant harmonics to the valve train. The best timing chain available is actually a rubber belt w/ adjustable aluminum gears. the timing belt's unbelievably super thin and narrow. It's a "jesel belt drive" and costs 1500$ for a Ls. Once u see this in a 4000 hp engine your opinion on timing chain girth will change

@@brentiaconelli6484 I am familiar with a belt conversion. And no it doesnt change my opinion. I would like to see a bigger chain or double roller chain for this application. Harmonics are not a issue. Double roller chains have proven their dependability for probably trillions of miles or more. What it really boils down to is ford did the math. The can use the little chain and it will make it out of the warranty period. Then on top of the that they are going to save $15 per timing chain. Multiply that by 500,000 units and they saved 7.5 million dollars. It was one way they saved money, just like plastic valve covers, Plastic intakes thinner castings etc...

No auxiliary shaft off the cam... cam's not driving a distributor and oil pump, no need for extra beef. Actually thinking about it now, what on earth were manufacturers thinking putting that kind of load on a gear off a shaft drive by a chain anyways, unless it was about dampening any flutter by having a load....

I may be wrong, but it would make me uncomfortable putting very much boost to that engine with the semi free floating siamesed cylinders. I just get the feeling that heat would build between them and they could possibly move around causing head gasket failure in the least. Similar to the ford focus rs engines that have the same type of cylinder setup and are popping head gaskets at very low mileage. Just doesnt seem like very much support around those cylinders. Just my opinion though.

@@PureCountryof91 I hate to be the one to break it to you, but just adding longer rods will not increase stroke. It just changes the height of the piston in the bore. Not the amount of up and down travel it has in the bore. You will change compression, possibly need custom pistons, change the amount of side loading on the bore from the piston skirts, and you will also increase the amount of dwell time at tdc with longer rods.

Gotta love the commenters that know everything about other people's builds. Just a little Google goes a long way. Brian said that builders will work on stouter connecting rods first thing. Stock flow of the heads with 2 valves?! Go back and watch #2 video. What other stock head flows that well with 2 valves? Sealing the heads, getting compression right and a little boost and 1800hp is very easy. LS guys are building that with way less cubic inches. This 7.3 is such a new design and the aftermarket or hot rodders haven't even begun to find it's limits or potential. Give it a few years.
