1 day agoLove this thing but 420HP out of a modern 7.3L engine is weak sauce. The GM 5.3L truck motors make nearly that much power stock. The HP rating shouldn’t be the highlight of this build.
Stock they didn’t, but this thing is far from stock and older V8 motors could easily be woken up with heads, intake, and headers. It’s definitely a cool swap but it seems like they wasted a ton of potential. I suppose this does give the new owner something to work on which might be ideal depending on the buyer.
Edit: not even really a waste of potential, more that it’s not really impressive when you have smaller engines out there coming with 500, 600, 700HP from the factory via superchargers and what not.
