Ford 7.3L Gas Engine

[Tractorable]

Some engine builders out there in YouTube land are saying the bottom end on the 7.3L with its 6 bolt main bearing caps, forged crank, and pistons/rings from the turbo motors should be good for 1500hp.

Time will tell, but that’s been mentioned a few times in my reading. Of course, if it’s on the internet it must be true right?

May be a strong bottom end, but it still had those Siamese cylinders!!!

With HP and Torque numbers rising the operator of a manual truck needs to be very careful how that power is applied.

660lb was the twist the last Cummins 6.7 diesels put out in 6-speed manual trim in the RAMS, limit of the G56.

So the gassers still have some room, for Ford had the ZF6-650 good for 650 ft lb, my old 7.3 powerstroke @ 500 ft/lb torque had a ZF6

Handling that hp and especially torque at 3500 rpm or higher is accomplished far easier than at 1500-2000 rpm.

No. Do you use the message function? I almost went with another Platinum but when I saw the black sport package I decided to go with the Lariat

I think the Platinum is cheaper than an optioned to the limit lariat but I wanted the black grill. Manufactures must make a killing on option packages

I do use it on mine...actually has to get repaired because it stopped working on the drivers seat..

Nice truck, plenty of power for going to the garden center empty. Rides hard, 7MPG first tank. Needs a louder exhaust. Love the $1400 LED headlamp option.

The locker option and LSD front diff are incredible for banging around the land.

Looks Like TFL had their SD Godzilla test truck Supercharged


This Supercharged Ford Super Duty Will Blow You Away... Literally! - YouTube

5.23 seconds to 60 MPH That is cooking... Maybe next towing up the IKE
short regular tow test with 15 k behind ~16 sec to 60

Goodbye Warranty??

I have to admit for a SD F250

that thing RUNS...

I that that time is faster than an F150 eco. Granted bigger engine but also a heavier truck. Screamer.
