GODZILLA SWAP HORSEPOWER! IN THE MERCURY CAPRI
I’m blown way and super impressed by the performance of these motors, and it’s great to see it all come together in this video
Everything seems to be working right and this car is quickly becoming a great Street cruiser
Big thanks to everyone involved!
More to come real soon !
PEACE!

A Capri, you don't see many around anymore, at least I don't and I have to say that I love it. Always been a huge fan of the Capri and what you have done to yours is simply awesome, just subscribed and looking forward to more.
Those are some solid first numbers!! Sounded AWESOME doing it too!! Good Job 401👍
Hard work pays off 💪 congrats

Put the ford performance intake manifold. You'll pick up 20/20 hp/tq. And it has a better throttle body angle

I currently have 3 Coyotes and do welcome the much LESS complex 7.3 and plan on swapping one into a New Edge at some point!
Love it guys! So impressive! Was this on pump gas or e85? Sorry if you mentioned I don’t remember hearing it

I've not looked into what the cost is to buy a Godzilla, new or one from the wrecking yard but I have to say you'd be a bit ahead of the game going with a well built 351W base engine; either OEM block or Aftermarket.

Interesting comment. Id factor in the amount of machine work needed, and all supporting components , heads , camshaft design, air and fuel delivery, to make 500na with a 351w And then the swap components. Oil pan. Headers. Intake if injected. Godzillas can be found at salvage yards for 5k. To me, i felt this move would put the build ahead. And im a diehard 351 fan. I appreciate the insight tho. Its food for thought for anyone starting a build

@@401foxbody Certainly the Godzilla is the better platform. 351w can handle 700-800 hp with boost, some say no, others say even more is doable. What is the weight of the Godzilla? Heck I'm sticking a 306 8.2 deck into a Mazda RX8 currently... no such "all the shelf parts" for the engine swap, unlike for the LS platform.

Po boys gotta stick with a proven performer! My buddy was running 6:60s with a well prepped 357 in the 1/8 mile 15 years ago! Multiply that by 1.57 to get the 1/4 mile time!
under the hood looks jalapeno red. dont think I have seen a capri that colour

It made over 400 ft.lbs 2500rpm to redline!! Dang
I thought these motors made power. For sure needs a blower or something.
You have the 1st gen intake manifold. The 2nd gen intake manifold is much bigger in terms of performance. Not 100% sure if it would be a power improvement swapping to the 2nd gen manifold. The runners are straighter. The throttle body opening is 1/4" bigger and it bolts on just like the 1st gen
