A race engine built to dominate

Named the Megazilla 2.0, this 7.3-liter V8 is a radical evolution of its predecessor, which already produced 612 horsepower. The new version takes things even further with a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger, forged pistons, a steel crankshaft, and reworked cylinder heads. The result? Over 1,000 horsepower under the hood, enough to rival the best custom-built engines on the market. This engine is strictly reserved for competition use, specifically drag racing and off-road rally events. So, don’t expect to drop it into an F-150 for highway runs. With this kind of power, Ford is targeting teams and tuners looking for extreme performance without the hassle of building an engine from scratch. It’s a turnkey solution backed by Ford’s motorsport expertise. The Megazilla 2.0 could also appeal to those dreaming of installing this beast into high-performance restomod projects, though its use remains track-only.

A supercharged Coyote for the streets

For those craving extreme power while staying street-legal, Ford has them covered with a high-output version of the 5.0-liter Coyote V8. This engine, originally from the Mustang Dark Horse, typically delivers 500 horsepower. But thanks to a 3.0-liter supercharger and an ECU tune, it now produces 800 horsepower and 615 lb-ft of torque. That’s nearly Mustang GTD levels of power, except this engine is designed to be adaptable to a variety of vehicles, offering rare flexibility in the crate engine market. On top of that, it comes with a two-year or 24,000-mile warranty—an important factor for those hesitant to make the leap. This added security will reassure enthusiasts looking for high performance without compromising reliability. With these specs, this engine can turn almost any car into an absolute road missile.

Availability and pricing: patience required

Both engines will be available for order through Ford dealerships and Ford Performance Parts starting in Q4 2025. While Ford hasn’t announced pricing yet, expect a hefty price tag. The current naturally aspirated Megazilla already costs nearly $23,000, so this new supercharged version will easily exceed that. As for the boosted Coyote, it will also require a serious investment for those looking to turn their car into a true powerhouse. With the growing popularity of engine swaps and extreme builds, Ford is responding to a rising demand. These two engines are set to become benchmarks in the high-performance engine world. Now, it’s just a matter of seeing which machines will be ready to harness these mechanical monsters.
