Ford Debuts Megazilla 2.0 Crate Engine with Over 1,000 Supercharged Horsepower

If more 600-plus horsepower isn’t quite enough, there’s a new option in town for your performance truck build.

There’s been a huge amount of buzz around Ford’s latest “iconic vehicles”, from the new Bronco to the new Mustang and various performance versions of the hugely popular F-150, the Ranger and even the latest generation Super Duty trucks. This latest news focuses on the latter segment — specifically those keen to complete a build around its 7.3-liter Megazilla V8 (derived from the Godzilla engine). Now, above and beyond the naturally aspirated 612 horsepower crate engine available for $22,995 through Ford Performance, there’s now a supercharged version that cranks out even more power thanks to a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger.

And by “even more”, we’re talking about at least 1,000 horsepower. With great power comes…well, a catch, actually, in that the Megazilla 2.0 is competition-use only. So, this sort of volcanic grunt will be limited to desert racers and “dragstrip dominators”, as Ford puts it. However, the Gen 6 3.0-liter Whipple Supercharger joins the original Megazilla’s extensive list of mods including forged pistons and connecting rods, a steel crank, ported and polished cylinder heads and upgraded valve springs to handle the oomph.

Now, if you’re looking for a street-legal option, Ford Performance also announced a supercharged 5.0-liter Coyote V8 as well. That option takes the standard $11,500 crate engine’s 460 horsepower up to “800+ horsepower”, with a targeted torque rating of 615 lb-ft. In the Mustang, at least, the Whipple supercharger takes the output up to 810 horsepower with the optional active exhaust. The F-150 side of that coin only boosts the power to around 700, as well as 590 lb-ft of torque if you just get the current standalone supercharger kit to install on your standard Coyote V8.

Ford says both complete crate engine options will be available by the fourth quarter of 2025. Expect a $10,000 uplift from the naturally aspirated units. In the Coyote’s case, Ford already sells a standalone $9,995 bolt-on supercharger for the Mustang GT and Dark Horse, or a $9,500 unit for the F-150. Interestingly, the automaker offers a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty on standalone superchargers installed by Ford dealers or ASE-certified technicians. Wait and buy the supercharged crate engine lock, stock and barrel, and you only get a 2-year/24,000-mile guarantee.
