We know a 4.25 stroke will fit in a 9.5 deck windsor. Supposedly this motor has more room in the bottom end to clear the cam tunnel and a taller deck height. 9.65 I think. Should be good for a 4.5 stroke, but at minimum a 4.40. If you take the stock bore (4.22) and roll 0.080 over pistons, and get a 4.40 crank. You're look at 512 cubes from a small block. That being said, we should see 650 to the tire pretty easily in the next year naturally aspirated if street daily driveable service conditions. For all out race itll be over 1khp.

Nice to hear some basic tech specs on the engine. It makes for some interesting comparisons to other engines. The 4.53 bore spacing puts it smaller than the Ford FE, Pontiac, and Olds V8's, which were right around 4.625. The original Caddy OHV and Chrysler Early Hemis were 4.56. Small block Chevies and LS's are 4.40. The new 7.3 has a 4.22" bore, and won't have much room to grow beyond a 4.25 bore. Max intake valve size should be about 2.25, which was a common size for big block Chevies of the classic era.

I agree, you will never see me say anything bad about any of those motors. The coyote proved Ford can make a OHC engine that is as good, and in my opinion better than anyone in the world, including the exotics, at 100HP/L and designed to be a daily driver with low maintenance I see no one at can match that. The Windsor another great engine, that's why the LS / LT comped the head bolt layout, symmetric ports, and took the lower end from the modular.....

You hit the nail on the head. The internet just gets tiresome in that regard and no one can look at the big picture. First off, if this engine wasn't legit, guys like yourself and Dave wouldn't be investing time and money, so that right there tells me we're on to something. Second, this is a net gain for the Hotrod community. Another viable powerplant brings down prices and availability of engines like the Coyote. I love the Coyote, but I'm a diehard pushrod guy and seeing what this engine has to offer is what us 8.2/9.5 deck guys have dreamed of. What a time to be alive as a car guy. I still want the official weight though. Lol

@@mewrongway It's not a null argument if you're comparing apples and oranges. You're comparing a new Godzilla versus a used LS9. If you're going to play the used engine game, just skip the LS9 and go for a $500 junkyard LS3 with eBay Turbos and tune it for 1000 hp. If it blows up, who cares? It's cheap to replace. The LS3 is a poor man's dream engine. The Godzilla will never be as affordable as an LS3, but then again, an LS3 block will never come close to the capabilities of a Godzilla. You get what you pay for.

Hopefully they are relatively affordable once they start hitting the junkyards in wrecked trucks. I'm into 60s Ford's with the big shock towers.

Did you see the amount of hacking and extra parts needed that has to be bought and done to a FOX body just to installed one of these? The bottom line is..All it takes is Money!

Looks like this engine has both NA and boosted potential. Ported heads, dual port injection, big intake manifold and good headers doing 600+ bhp from 430bhp is darn imprssive. Throw in the VMP Vortex supercharger on top of the 7.3L and my guess is that it should do over 1000bhp since this engine is built for durability. I expect nothing less than a forged crankshaft and beefy rods. Maybe just throw in new pistons and piston rings for boosted application. I do like to see how the stock valve springs can tank the back pressure of the gases in the hot turbo side when the gas pedal is let off when it is turbocharged. What the bore size and stroke length to make it a 7.3L? So far nothing on the internet about the specs of the cylinder bore and dept. To those who say open deck sucks. Some Honda engines are open deck design yet they are boosted over the moon and producing tons of power. Bad tune is what breaks block not entirely bad blocks.
