The 7.3-liter Godzilla V8 is a push-rod, small-block, gasoline V8 engine which looks like it could be designed in the ’60s. But using the latest technologies, state-of-the-art fuel injection systems, modern castings, and electronic engine management, drivers got the best of both worlds. The new 7.3-liter is brutally dependable, tough, and easy to repair and at the same time very economical for what it is, powerful and can last millions of miles. The nominal power figures are 430 HP and 475 lb-ft of torque but the Blue Oval is just waiting to release much more from this package.
