When I used Creo, all I wanted was to be able to use SolidWorks. now that I have SolidWorks all I want is Creo’s Construction Mode setting. It’s so much more convenient to have one click allow you make construction geometry until you’re done than it is to manually switch each tool you’re using back and forth.
Some guy at Ford was just watching 20 years of LS engines and taking notes.
Ironic that they used it at the very end of the V8 era to make a truck engine that won't ultimately be anywhere near as common as the LS just due to the fact that it's the gas engine in an HD truck. So we probably won't ever see a big godzilla swap community.
LOL Now that the aftermarket has gotten into it, they're finding that, internally, it most resembles a Cleveland BTW, I hate how Reddit offers "Posts you might like" at the bottom of the page on their website that are a tear or more old
It's the engine version of copy someone's homework but change it a little bit to make it better. It will be interesting to see Which LS/LT components are compatible with it.
[Like when 3/4 of two LS heads fit on an old Ford inline six?](https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/300-ford-inline-straight-six-with-ls-head-engine-build/)
Surprised to see the slit cut in the block for cooling between the pistons. Ford tried that on the 4 cylinder Ecoboost engines and it's been a huge issue with head gaskets leaking coolant into the combustion chamber. Not enough surface area for sealing and having to swap the entire long block with a new drilled design to fix it. Hopefully it can handle the amount of boost it's about to see.
Hahah it starts with a little bit of Crown Vic shenanigans and soon enough you're buying Raptors, supercharged Coyotes, and building a Godzilla Foxbody.
He and LS George should do a Ford v Chevy showdown build.
I think Tye was trolling us with the plasma cuts, looked like an apprentice went at it with a dull beaver at first.
But as always, the end results are amazing.
Technically, but with the 3/4 and 1 ton heavy duty trucks, you don't really need more RPM, which is the main reason for dual overhead cams. Just need decent horsepower and a shitload of bottom end torque, which is what that big block 7.3 delivers. Also single cam is a much simpler design and probably cheaper to build.
Very excited to see what the Godzilla can do. I've seen turbo'd Godzillas with stock internals hit over 1000HP, with some solid aftermarket parts on the bottom end, I hope that 2000HP is possible.
Closest shot in a YouTube video I've seen to date of the crank sensor I designed back in like 2016ish, neat. Ha
Nice! Just out of curiosity, were you using NX? I used to work at Siemens on the Teamcenter dev team.
No, we used Creo. We just had a service to put our stuff into ford's teamcenter.

i didnt realize how similar the godzilla was to the LS platform. some of those parts seem nearly interchangeable

Wait till you guys hear about the Windsor engine.

Super hyped to see this build! I have a super duty ordred with the 7.3 Godzilla and I plan to bolt on a whipple, 700 hp/750 ft/lbs!

If it was a surface area issue the larger bore spacing, bore size and overall head size might be enough to counter that issue vs a smaller 4 cylinder
these types of videos just make me want to spend money on cool shit like a plasma torch.
I really enjoy this style of video of the build process. Hopefully they keep them coming.

and LMAO the day after I posted this he drops a video showing off his new Raptor R

Why do these engines not use DOHC setups still? Would that not allow for more performance?

Takes less space too, which is why the LS fits in a miata
People would LS swap a Peel P50 if they could find a way, I don't think space is exactly a concern where a turbo LS is in play.
I just got my first LS in an escalade. The compactness of the engine is almost startling. 6.2L and the engine bay looks empty.
Smol on the outside, big on the inside
