[DeTomaso] Godzilla in a crate

[Lashdeep Singh]

Thanks, I will definitely check out the Youtube link.

While we are all dreaming, may I submit my personal fantasy of a state of the art, modern pushrod Ford with Ti rods and dry sump like the LS7?

I understand it was originally set up for both SOHC and DOHC heads plus it has a far better bore capacity and bore spacing than the modulars and coyotes. It just kills me that modern coyote motors can trace their bore size limits to the FWD Lincoln 4.6 motors.

   I think it would fit in the Pantera but length would be a possible
   issue, similar to a BBF swap. It's too bad there's not more development
   on the 6.2. I understand it was originally set up for both SOHC and

      The cost to install it will far exceed the $8,300 cost of the crate

      engine.  Does the crate engine include the Ford ECU, sensors and

      harnessing needed?  Will the ZF transaxle take the torque of this

      beast?  What cooling system upgrades will be needed to handle the

      increased heat load?  Wat sort of air intake system is needed.  A

      highly custom exhaust system with O2 sensors is needed.

      For the cost of rebuilding a Cleveland, you now can get a crate

      Godzilla. Minor mods required.
