Built to Dominate: Megazilla 2.0 and Supercharged Coyote Break Cover

Ford Performance continues to push the boundaries of factory-backed horsepower with the introduction of two powerhouse crate engines for 2025: the Megazilla 2.0 and the Supercharged 5.0L Coyote. Whether for dominating the off-road racing circuit or building a street-legal beast, these engines are engineered to deliver extreme performance with the reliability and backing of the Ford brand.

Megazilla 2.0: The Off-Road Juggernaut

An evolution of the original 7.3-liter Godzilla V8, the new Megazilla 2.0 is designed for competition-level builds and extreme environments. Built on the same rugged cast-iron block used in Ford Super Duty trucks, this version has been enhanced with a Gen 6 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger to push output past the 1,000-horsepower mark.

Highlights of the Megazilla 2.0 include:

• Engine Platform: Based on Ford’s Super Duty 7.3L “Godzilla” block

• Internal Strength: Equipped with forged pistons, H-beam connecting rods, and a forged steel crankshaft to handle high boost and extreme stress

• Cylinder Head Design: Ported and polished heads with upgraded valve springs for improved airflow and higher RPM stability

• Supercharging System: Gen 6 3.0L Whipple supercharger for consistent, high-output performance

• Intended Use: Strictly designed for competition and off-road use—ideal for drag racing, desert trucks, and extreme off-road rigs

This crate engine is built for those who demand durability and peak performance in the harshest racing environments. Ford Performance emphasizes that the Megazilla 2.0 is not street-legal and is aimed at serious builders who want reliable, high-horsepower performance with factory engineering integrity.

Supercharged 5.0L Coyote: Street-Legal Power and Reliability

For enthusiasts looking for a balance of massive horsepower and everyday drivability, the Supercharged 5.0L Coyote crate engine is a perfect match. Built from the latest Mustang Dark Horse 5.0L platform, this engine is enhanced with the same 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger used in the Megazilla 2.0, resulting in over 800 horsepower and 615 lb-ft of torque—all while remaining emissions-legal for street use.

Key features of the Supercharged Coyote:

• Factory-Backed Mustang Engine Base: Starts with the Gen-4 Coyote found in the 2024 Mustang Dark Horse

• Whipple 3.0L Supercharger: Delivers reliable, high-output performance suitable for daily driving or weekend track days

• Upgraded Fuel System: GT500-spec fuel injectors, upgraded throttle body, and air-to-water intercooler ensure consistent performance under heavy load

• Tuned PCM: Powertrain Control Module calibrated for the supercharged setup

• Street-Legal Compatibility: Meets emissions standards when paired with approved components

This engine also comes with the peace of mind of a factory warranty. When installed by a Ford dealer or certified mechanic, buyers receive a two-year/24,000-mile engine warranty and a three-year/36,000-mile supercharger warranty, making it an attractive option for builders who want high power without sacrificing reliability.

Built for Builders: Easier Installation and Proven Parts

Both engines are designed with builders in mind. Ford has focused on making the installation process as streamlined as possible. Each crate engine is compatible with Ford Performance control pack harnesses, making integration into custom builds, restomods, or performance trucks more straightforward.

The use of components and engineering know-how borrowed from Ford’s racing programs also gives these engines a significant edge in quality and performance assurance. From throttle response to boost mapping, every detail has been engineered to deliver maximum impact with minimal hassle.

Availability and Ordering

Ford Performance plans to make both engines available in the fourth quarter of 2025. Enthusiasts and builders can place orders through local Ford dealers or via Ford Performance Parts. As part of Ford’s long-standing crate engine program, these offerings expand the brand’s lineup of high-performance options for a wide range of projects—from classic car restorations to race-prepped trucks and street machines.

The debut of the Megazilla 2.0 and Supercharged 5.0L Coyote crate engines reinforces Ford Performance’s reputation as a powerhouse in the high-performance engine market. Whether you’re chasing lap times, carving desert dunes, or turning heads on the street, these new crate engines are ready to deliver unmatched performance straight from the factory.
