Godzilla Swapped Broncos: Why the 7.3L Is the Ultimate Upgrade
If you’ve spent any time around modern Bronco builds lately, you’ve probably heard one word come up again and again: Godzilla. No, not the movie monster—the 7.3L Godzilla V8 from Ford Performance. And when it lands in a classic Bronco? Things get seriously wild.
At SuperBronco, we specialize in building Godzilla-powered Broncos that blend modern reliability with old-school muscle. Here’s why this engine has become our go-to.
What Makes the 7.3L Godzilla So Popular?
The Godzilla engine was designed by Ford to be simple, durable, and powerful—exactly what a SuperBronco build needs.
Massive low-end torque
Modern fuel injection
Factory reliability
Incredible aftermarket support
Unlike older engines that require constant tinkering, the Godzilla just works—whether you’re cruising, crawling, or hammering the throttle.
Perfect Power for a Classic Bronco
Classic Broncos are lightweight compared to modern trucks, which means the 7.3L delivers brutal acceleration without feeling overbuilt or fragile. It’s smooth on the street and confident off-road, making it one of the most versatile swaps available.
We pair our Godzilla builds with supporting components like:
Upgraded cooling systems
High-performance braking
Modern power steering & hydroboost setups
Late mold Super Duty axles
The result? A Bronco that drives like a modern performance vehicle but still turns heads everywhere it goes.
Is a SuperBronco Right for You?
If you want:
Turn-key reliability
Modern drivability
Serious performance
…then yes. It probably is.
