This is how I drive auto anyway. Right foot gas, left foot brake, even when I'm not trying to launch it.with an auto you can "two" foot it.

Hey, to each their own I suppose.
. I just prefer the rocketship-esque feel of a continuous pull to ridiculously high RPM
A quick google search tells me that there is an ~80 lb difference between an aluminum and cast iron LS block.Should ask, anyone have any idea how much weight might be saved making an aluminator Godzilla?
Still 80lbs lessA quick google search tells me that there is an ~80 lb difference between an aluminum and cast iron LS block.
Oh yeah for sure, just filling in the blanks.Still 80lbs less
I'd save for itOh yeah for sure, just filling in the blanks.
It's funny, though, because Ford recently released an iron Coyote block for higher power applications. So maybe they'll do an aluminum Godzilla, who knows!
What engine idles at 2400?Personally I rather have a reasonable size NA engine for offroad than a hairdryer engine. You want good torque off idle not in the 4000-5000 rpm range. Ford is playing the same HP game as everyone else, Small displacement turbo motor, with no boost at low rpm uses little fuel, high rpm boost pumps torque numbers up (subsequently gives large hp numbers for the ad execs) and sucks fuel.
The 2.3 is at 2500 rpm before its making 150 lb ft torque, its at 3000 before making peak torque but its flat to 5000 rpm.
The old 3.8 low tech V-6 put out 215 lbâ‹…ft at 2400, I would prefer this in a offroader.
Turbos and electronic trannys make the Bronco more complicated than I would like.
The Godzilla doesn’t come onto its torque until like 4K (in stock truck form). I’ve got the Godzilla in my Tremor and it’s a fun motor. I came off a 3.5EB so I had to get used to letting the motor eat to get to the torque. It is indeed a small package.i dont know if it has been mentioned in here yet, but one strong appeals of the godzilla motor is how much more narrow it is than a coyote. Something like 4-5 inches.
A godzilla in the Bronco would be amazing but i doubt that would ever happen. A rev happy coyote? No thanks, they are gutless on the bottom end......but lord they are fun when they are twisted up past 5k.
It's extremely difficult to make these low-rpm power comparisons, as dyno results at low RPM are highly dependent on how the operator loads the dyno, especially with turbo engines that need to spool.The Godzilla doesn’t come onto its torque until like 4K (in stock truck form).

Yep, it's why torque converters exist. It doesn't matter what the engine is making at 1100rpm if your converter flashes to 2000.I did a bunch of research back in the early 2000 and couldn’t find any gas motor that made good useable torque at or off idle
