Most drag racers will favor this setup. Paul has stabbed a big truck motor into a rear-wheel drive coupe. It makes for some fast elapsed times and a whole lot of fun. He has added a sizeable shot of nitrous to make things even more interesting.
At the heart of this record setting beast is a 7.3-liter Godzilla crate motor from Ford Performance. Designed for use in F-250 and F-350 truck applications, Godzilla utilizes an overhead valve cast iron block with aluminum cylinder heads and a forged crankshaft. Right out of the box, this big V8 can generate 430hp and 475 lb.-ft. of torque. Paul adds a 200hp shot of nitrous to get him over the hump. The automatic transmission is a GM TH400.
Paul is hoping to reset the quarter-mile World Record for lowest elapsed time from a Godzilla powered Mustang. Let’s go to the video and see if he is successful.
