Who will swap for the new 7.3 V8!

[tokuzumi]

Dude!

I keep telling you guys you have to keep the past in the past. Carbs, points and crappy thin tires. Then you want to compare it to a modern car. How about a modern big block to Ecoboost comparison. Taking the past and trying to make it play in the present only comes across as something wrong and sick.

Sure. Ecoboost Mustang will easily out accelerate the F250 with the 7.3 gas motor, stock for stock.

Ohhhhh 5 or so.

Zero.


Ford GAA engine.


To watch how much shit spews forth from your piehole.

Thanks for trolling.....
Mustang won last Sunday in NASCAR, (FR9) powered.
Mustang won last week in Australion Super Cars, (Windsor) powered.

The 7.3 will be doing the same......

NASCAR....yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnn. That sport stopped being relevant back in the early 80s. "Stock Car Racing".

 

[SheepDog]

The motor will weigh in around just over 500lbs.
Remember, only a 4.6 inch bore spacing.
Alloy heads.
Composite ABS intake.
Modern light weighted thin wall block.
A production bbc does not have any of those features.....thanks for the laugh.

Thanks Sweetie, we already covered these details 2 days ago.

No information, no problem. You just need to know how to cipher correctly.

Reading Comp/Ciphering 101:

What you read is not important, subject matter experts should be ignored because it's what you are not reading that is important.

You see, no one has said the 7.3 engine and transmission combo is going to add 300-350 pounds so therefore it must be 100-150 pounds. And 150 pounds is no big deal so no need to update the suspension or brakes. Forget other iron block engine comparisons and dismiss the head of gas engines at Ford who says the iron block 7.3 is "too heavy" for the Mustang, all that means nothing when you cipher correctly.

When the head of gas engines at Ford says the 7.3 will not be very good in a Mustang, what he didn't say is the 7.3 won't be faster than the 5.0.

You see, once you cipher correctly everything falls in line because you just make shit up and start winning at the drag strip.

Until you learn the art of ciphering, you are not going to win any theoretical drag races.

The 7.3 has very little in common with a NASCAR engine, and wouldn't be legal to use. Comparing full racecars with very specific rules limiting technology to performance of production car engines just shows how full of shit you really are. Have you ever raced in your life? You sound like a high school kid who watched a couple races and now pretends to be an expert on engine technology.

Trolling lol. Your citing specific racing sanctioning bodies that specify specific engines that was mandated in the 70s. The 355 rule. The only major engine change in the last decade was going with fuel injection. However you seem to be comparing the Ford FE/385 series engines with the 7.3. They have zero in common.

Have you seen the ports and valves of the 7.3....?
How large the cam tunnel is?
The fact that the cam has nine bearings?
The bore spacing?
Bore size?
Between cylinder cooling.....?

The 7.3 parallels the FR9 in many ways.
Beats the Windsor hands down.
The 7.3 will curb stomp the coyote!
Funny how your own logic does not apply
to the Cobra Jets.

Thanks for the insults.....Grow Up!

I'm sticking to the title of the thread......
Everybody that's not is in fact trolling.....
Throwing insults at people is childish.

So I will say to you.....
There are more Mustangs using pushrod engines in battle
than overhead cams.

The coyote is by no means a deity......it has it's flaws.
The 7.3 or any SBF and including the LS/LT engine family fixes them.

I was at a local 1/8 mile strip and there were zero Ford powered Mustangs.
Around 80 cars were there.
More than half were Mustangs (Fox Body/S197).

Painful truth.

No it's not boogerhead.

So your argument is that nobody is putting a Coyote into a car that didn't come with a Coyote?
And your fallacy is thinking this is because the older, simpler, and readily available OHV engines are better.

This thread is about replacing the Coyote (or V6 even) in the S550 with the 7.3L and how impractical that is.

Literally nothing you just wrote makes your comment about NASCAR any more relevant to this conversation. We aren't debating hand-built race engines that are extremely limited by circuit rules.

Maybe you need to grow up and stop lying/bullshitting. That, or cry about how you hate the Coyote elsewhere.

I will say to you, again, prove it. Citations needed. Show us all the S550s that have swapped out their 5.0 for a pushrod. Hundreds of drag racers on this forum, and most are using the Coyote. Same with the performance shops here.

I've seen more coyote swaps into new edges than LS swaps
