For the 7.3, the MT-82 gear ratios are going to be too short since the engine won't spin them up high enough. I would try 3.31's or taller so you can put that low end torque down.

Great to see that you've got this thing all buttoned up and running. I knew that thing was going to be a torque monster.

It will break traction in any gear. That thing's nasty, and you've got basically the same thing here with a few more cubes and way better reliability.

Not that you can't make the power with a 5.0, it's just so expensive to do. This 7.3 is like a big block LS (same basic formula, but bigger displacement), so it should be a monster if the aftermarket picks it up and runs with it, which I think they might given the potential.

A 7.3 Godzilla engine in a Mustang is fucking sick! Replacing the Coyote with it eliminates the one bad thing about a stock 5.0: low end torque. Only problem with the Godzilla is you need an intake to help the top end. Once you get that, you will send full bolt on Coyotes to gapplebee's easily. About the gear lockout at high RPMs, you need a stainless steel clutch line and... A NEW CLUTCH! The number 1 things that ruin these MT-82s is the stock clutch. They absolutely suck at handling high RPMs and will lockout at anything over 6000 RPM, ESPECIALLY on a quick shift. Which sucks because Coyote's are all HP, all their power is high RPM, it feasts all the way up to 7500 RPMs (with boss or 18+ intake). I can shift my dad's '14 5.0 with the MT-82 (with stock clutch) almost flawlessly, but from time to time it will lockout of 3rd and the clutch pedal will stick to the floor after a quick shift into 2nd. Sometimes it even refuses to go into 4th (very rarely). But yes, those stock clutches suck! Change it out! And do a flywheel, clutch, clutch pressure plate, hydraulic throwout bearing and stainless steel clutch line all at once. You will never have a problem with high RPM lockout again (other then user error lol). Have fun with the build though! I can't wait to see how far this 7.3 comes! Subscribed.

Definitely need a short runner intake manifold and a big cam to help the top end power of the 7.3. Torque really falls off a cliff around 4500 rpm. With a curve like that, I can imagine you probably should be shifting around 5600-5800. Also since the 7.3 makes so much more torque you might consider switching to a 2.73 rear-end gear to help with traction.

@@ag3nto578 all I can say is I got a stock 2011 5.0 and had 5th and 6th grinded out in my Mt 82 @80k miles. Not really what I expect for the amount of money these cars go for. Note this was bought used at around (60k miles) but that shouldn't mean my transmission can't even make it to 100k miles on one tranny.

@@picolasstrange8008 Still probably the fault of the flywheel. I thought mine was broke how much the center is allowed to move. Previous owner of your car was prob a monster on high rpm shifts. The lock out is real and not the trans fault. Clutch stays engaged while you are trying to shift. Or they lugged the high gears alot.

Awesome work as usual man! Glad to see the beast rippin.

Love the build man. Let’s hit the track again September 3rd

Such a great video! Variable cam timing locked out in 7.3? That’s gotta be killing some performance.

Oh and great job on Godzilla! As for drag racing….practice makes perfect. Also watch what the other guys are doing in the staging lanes, like checking tire pressure, icing the intake or adding ice to the inter cooler (for boosted cars), making sure your time is the correct one to use, etc. Great job on the swap!

Drag racing tires are a must if you want to maximize what your engine is trying to put to the ground, it's like wearing the right shoe for the occasion. You wouldn't go playing basketball while wearing hiking shoes

Helluva Job, Young Gun ! 👍🏼

Awesome content man. Keep up the good work!

Love to hear this with flowmaster super 10s

How difficult would it be to swap a 7.3 into a 2020 mustang? Would it be relatively straight forward like the 10-14 model? It’s a swap I’ve been curious about but I’ve not seen anyone try to swap one in yet. I think a 7.3 with the 10 speed would be pretty epic

the S197 Mustangs fit the GODZILLA so i assume the S550 would too

I would assume it to be about the same as his swap would be, need to fab your own engine mounts and such like he did

The 10R works well with the Coyote because it's tight gearing keeps it in the meat of the power band, on a 7.3 you'd need heads, cam, and a better manifold to take advantage of the 10R. The swap is more difficult on the S550 because the engine by is much tighter. Look at the S197 vs the S550 engine bay, the engine fits so well in the S197 but is much more crammed in there.

This is deadly! Great video, great work, keep them coming. Now, should I do the Godzilla swap in my fox? 🤔
