Ford Twin-Turbo Godzilla Engine In Development: Report

It is likely to be available in a crate engine.

Since Ford introduced Godzilla as a crate-engine, many people have tuned the massive engine to incredible numbers. The new massive pushrod engine was built for the 2020 Ford F-250 truck to produce up to 1,015 horsepower (757kilowatts). with supercharging.

A twin-turbo Godzilla set up by Merkel Race Engines saw 1,114 horsepower (830.7kW) of total power output.

These numbers are quite impressive but it seems Ford is creating its own Godzilla-powered engine. This is if we believe the Ford Authority exclusive report.

Sources familiar with the research and development projects of the automaker claim that a twin-turbo Godzilla engine is being developed for Ford Super Duty trucks. The power output has not been disclosed but sources describe the force-fed engine under development as a “monster”.

Two turbos are in place so we can expect huge torque output from the Godzilla engine. However, we doubt it will exceed the 1,050 pound-feet (1.424 Newton-meters), twists of the Power Stroke turbodiesel motor.

One thing is certain, it will be available in a crate engine form if it ever goes into production.

The naturally-aspirated pushrod Godzilla V8 is 445 cubic inches in displacement or 7.3 liters. It produces 430 horsepower (320 kW) at 4,000 RPM and 475 lbft (644 Nm). This engine is designed to be a powerful, reliable mill with a diesel-like powerband.

Ford Performance isn’t really done with the Godzilla engine. Mike Goodwin teases a secret project called the Megazilla, which will produce more power than stock. At this time, it is unclear if the Megazilla and the twin-turbo project are the same thing. We can only wait for an official announcement.
