I inherited My fathers 69 cougar. Its got a worn out 390. I debated rebuilding the 390. More and more as I watch these videos I'm debating getting a 7.3 &10R140 out of a wrecked truck & getting a control pack to run it all. When my father passed a few years ago he left me $10,000 with the Title and a note that said only use the money to get Cougar road worthy. As I watch these videos about the 7.3 and prices are dropping. The $10,000 might cover a used engine & transmission and the control pack. Thanks for representing Ford and the 7.3 !!!

To be open, two things to consider, the 10R140 is way to big and you would have to cut the floor up a lot to make it fit. A better choice would be a 6R80. However, if the car is original you may want to consider just a freshen on the 390. It seems the all original cars and the highly modified restro-mods are worth the most. Just a thought.

Personally, I don't think the battle is with the LS engine, it's with the Ford 460. I wouldn't put an LS in any of my Fords, but a 460 of course. I just can't see where you are ahead in money or horsepower putting a Zilla where a 460 was or could be. I live in a metro area; I haven't seen a 7.3 for sale at any price around here. 460's, though, pop up regularly. Aftermarket parts are a fraction of the cost, engine mounts and headers are easy, and you don't need to spend thousands on a 10R trans. Lots of power recipes and support in the 460 forums., too. Somebody convince me otherwise please.

One has been out since 2011, the other 2020. Wolfe has already made 1600 with a class limited procharged 7.3. Give it time, these 7.3’s will be right there with the coyote

I love how ford fanboys are always trying to " destroy the LS ". Until coyote or godzilla cores are 2-$300 you will NEVER destroy the LS, no matter what tricks you try to use. Take for example this $1500 core, it's REALLY a $4000 dollar core by the time you spent 20 hrs cleaning and honing it. Add your $3700(?) plus that $4000 core and you can buy a pretty nice brand new LS crate motor and never get a dirty finger. If you don't want to consider your time valuable, you are a fool. Then there is the packaging problems of the coyote and godzilla,and the fact that godzillas don't hold up when making big power. If they did McFlurry would still have a godzilla in it and Cleetus wouldn't have spent $30,000 converting it to a coyote....

Cleetus makes 1500+HP and has some head sealing issues that they never bothered to figure out(cuz, ya know, he's busy making YT videos, not developing new engine platforms...), so that means that "Godzillas can't hold big power"...😂 I guess that means Lencos are garbage transmissions too since they went to a TH400, right🤣 And lets just completely ignore how long it took for Coyotes to actually make 'big power' - the first 3 or 4 years everyone was saying that "the blocks are only good for a little over a thousand HP" and that the 4.6l was a better 'big power' platform lmao What a truly awful take

Your points are valid, but a 625 HP LS crate engine at Summit is about $15,000. If you do not have the time or knowledge then this is not for you. But there are a lot of people that take pride in doing their own build, built not bought.

@revanevan So you are ignoring every valid point I made and focusing on one tiny portion of my comment?

@@bdd1469 you made a valid point about labor, but that can be said for any DIY project. If you redo a bathroom in your house you can save money but you give up your time. And there's the satisfaction of doing it yourself vs paying someone else. And I wouldn't judge someone either way. And with all due respect, your "tiny" portion of the comment is not a good example of the durability of an engine. Cleetus spent very little time with the Godzilla. Pro Stock teams break engines and they have been racing the same platform for 30 years. Does that mean Pro Stock engines aren't durable? You bring up a lot of solid points, but the simple answer is don't build one. Different strokes for different folks. The LS is a great engine and a great platform, we all know that even if we have a little fun poking it.

I love the new Godzilla and hope the guys from EFI University come out with the CID aftermarket head. But to say a Ls killer 🤣😂 Let me know when Godzilla does 1000+ hp naturally-aspirated 🫡

For that 1000 HP, is that with stock heads, crank and block, or all aftermarket stuff? Also let me know when you build a 627 LS NA for $3725.

If I'm not mistaken a factory 427 ls7 has made 900 hp in race trim NA. I know for a fact that a 416 @ 13.5 compression has made 710 with factory Ls3 heads & a hydraulic roller cam. Then using a solid roller made 812 hp @ 8200 rpm same compression.

Ls3 @ 376 cubes with a Hyd cam and ported heads is a 640/650 hp combo. Carb intake used.

@@frankenstein01 Agree, mine made just over 1100, but that was with aftermarket block, crank, rods, pistons, heads and a billet intake.
