Description
Looking for something different than a Ford modular motor swap? Want an affordable power making option that doesn’t start with “LS” – The NEW pushrod Ford 7.3L Godzilla is the answer. More cubic inches, less space and ready for serious power, 430 horses to be exact! That’s right, the Ford 7.3 Godzilla Motor takes up less space then its predecessor, 5.0 “Coyote”. These motor packages have delivery miles on them, meaning less than 25 miles in all cases. You may wonder why buy this package over a crate motor? The answer is easy, these packages come COMPLETE, with all the factory accessories including Alternator, AC Compressor, Power Steering Pump, Oil Cooler and the Complete Transmission. From Clutch Fan to Tail-stock you get it all in-between. Crate motors leave you buying all of the additional components separately. These complete Ford 7.3 Godzilla packages save you money to invest in other areas of your build.

Are you thinking warranty? Read below to consider the pros and cons of warranty provided through a crate supplier.
Warranty/Re-funds
There is no expressed warranty with these packages and they are sold AS-IS. Our partners and clients have successfully been doing swaps with these delivery mile motors with no issues. With that said, there is always a risk you must understand the risks associated with used parts. There are also no refunds due to the nature of the product and shipping involved. If you are considering a crate motor for warranty think again. Chances are you will be changing the camshaft and other components to unlock the power opportunities from these motors. Once you change them, your warranty will be VOID. Check out the differences made here:

Q&A
- Where do all of these motors come from?
- They are from E-Series fleet vehicles which have been converted to Electric “EV”
- How many miles are on the motors?
- “Delivery Miles” = Miles to the dealer and from the dealer to the shop performing the conversions
- Can you install these for my build?
- Yes The Infamous Project loves a custom build and can help you with the swap – see further down the page
- Are these motors EPA compliant?
- Yes they come with all of the factory EPA/SMOG equipment which meets North American Standards
- What do I require to install one of these in my build?
- Every build is different but you will need a supporting fuel system, air intake/MAF setup and gas pedal for the “Drive by Wire” you can opt to purchase the TIP Godzilla Essentials Package to get all of these component short of the Fuel System to make your install a breeze.
- What kind of Power will I make & Should I get the Tune?
- It all comes down to preference. These motors are rated at 430hp in their current state but with a CAM swap you can unlock some serious power upwards of 500HP. CAM swaps are pretty straight forward and can unlock serious power! Check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKLuPhlW7uY
- What are my transmission options?
- If you opt to not take the E-450’s auto (6R140) as it is pretty large in size and you will need to use a third party Transmission controller. The better news is that you can bolt up just about any late-model trans Ford has to offer. Mustang guys typically use the 6R80 (US-Shift Transmission Controller and separate engine stand alone required), or even a T56 via a QuickTime bellhousing. The 6R140 will fit into most trucks and can be run with the factory electronics with the help of the Essentials Package we offer. Note the 6R140 is a bolt on flange style for easy transfer case installation.
- Now Available – Essentials Package V3 to run the 10R80 transmission off of the factory ECU and MARS Auto Supplied Control Pack.
- What are the most common SWAPS?
- We are seeing a lot of swaps into old F-100’s, F-150 first, Bronco’s and even SVT Lightning SWAPS! Just about any old Ford including Lincolns and now saving the Foxbody Mustang from LS Swaps.
- What gauges can I run with this motor?
- You can easily go with a Dakota Digital dash or if you like a more old-school/race look you can opt for Auto-meter or similar mechanical or electrical gauges to keep you eyes on the Godzilla’s vitals.
- How MUCH? Does it cost to have the swap done?
- On average you are looking at around 30k USD to have a swap completed including the labor to start. Remember, you will need to figure out your gauges, cooling, fuel etc. Plus the labor involved to install this thing! If you’re interested in The Infamous Project helping you out, please read below.
