megazilla

Apparently FoMoCo is creating a new monster in the crate engine department. They're calling it Megazilla. It's based on the 7.3L(?) gas V8 that they just started offering for trucks that work hard the majority of the time. The article that I saw said that they weren't planning to up the cube,s so some forced induction is in order. Plan is to be competetive with the big mopar crates

Now we're talking!

I drove one of the mid 80's Festiva, had 4 adults inside and it struggled to maintain a 55 MPH freeway speed. Cute car but VERY small inside and out.
