Ford has revealed a new product that’s so hardcore, you’re not allowed to use it on public roads. Welcome to Megazilla: a 7.3-litre V8 crate engine with an astronomical amount of horsepower.

Sorry, Megazilla 2.0, because of course it takes over from the puny, wheezy, barely-gets-out-of-its-own-way Megazilla 1.0. That engine arrived on the tail of 2022 with, frankly, a pitiful 612bhp.

We know right? For the sequel, Ford has upped all the antes and turned all the dials to 11. The basics remain as per the original: forged pistons, connecting rods, a steel crankshaft, polished and ported cylinder heads, and better valve springs.

However, a 3.0-litre Whipple supercharger arrives late to this V8 party, brandishing a few bottles of yee-haw and a smile. As such, Ford Performance reckons Megazilla is able to churn out well over 1,000bhp.

“Fair warning,” comes the… warning, “it’s for competition-use only, like for desert racing pre-runners and dragstrip dominators.” No word on price, but Megazilla 1.0 cost a shade under $23k.

Want something only a little less powerful? Ford has also supercharged the Mustang Dark Horse’s 5.0-litre Coyote V8 and offered it up as a box-fresh unit you can spend all weekend trying to shoehorn into something (pictured below). Your knuckles can’t wait, we’re sure.

This Coyota V8’s supercharger is also a 3.0-litre unit – basically a blower the size of a really powerful engine, bolted onto an already really powerful engine – and is matched to a reprogrammed ECU “and more”.

As such, Ford reckons it’ll produce over 800 horsies and 615lb ft, “ideal for both straight line speed and carving corners on the track”. Or laying down lurid powerslides on said track in a cloud of smoke and noise and likely a bit of laughter.

The Coyote comes with a two-year/24k mile warranty, too, and Ford reckons both this and Megazilla 2.0 are easy to install with an “intuitive control pack harness” that makes it easier for the builder, offers performance parts used in Ford’s very own racing cars, and allows for “endless possibilities: drop them into vehicles and build your dream car”.

Both will be available towards the end of 2025, and while we await news on prices, tell us what you’re dropping both into in the space below.
