Ford’s pushrod 7.3L V8 is becoming really, really popular these days, and if the amount of Godzilla swaps we saw at the 2024 SEMA Show is any indication, it’s only going to get better.

So it’s no surprise to see that Holley has stepped up to the plate with a suite of aftermarket parts for the Ford 7.3L. From accessory drive kits to intakes, if you’ve got a Godzilla swap planned, Holley can help make it happen.

To find out more, we moseyed over to the Holley booth to see what’s in store for the 7.3L.

Holley Ford 7.3L Godzilla Low-Profile Intake Manifolds

Since the Godzilla engine itself was born as a truck engine, many swappers are running into hood clearance issues when stuffing the V8 in a place it wasn’t intended. Holley’s low profile intake manifolds solve that problem.

Made of cast aluminum, these intakes replace the stock Ford plastic one and, depending on your setup, offer up to an extra 3.5 inches of clearance. Better yet, they correct the original throttle body angle by 55 degrees and allow you to run a larger 92mm throttle body.

And Holley tells us that the plenum’s longer runners can improve low-end torque as well.

Win-Win, friends.

If you’re swapping-in a Godzilla, there’s a good chance you’ll run into clearance issues with the stock accessory drive system too. And again, Holley comes to the rescue with a pair of accessory drive kits:

These kits allow you to move stuff like the A/C compressor and alternator up higher, so you can fit the Godzilla in the perfect position between the narrow fenders of, say, a Foxbody Mustang.

You can click on the links above for complete details, but in a nutshell the kits include the all-important oil pan and timing cover that you’ll need to ensure proper fitment. While the base kits requires you to re-use a lot of the stock parts, Holley’s Complete kits kick it up a notch with other accessories like an alternator and A/C compressor, and all necessary brackets to install them.

That’s not all though, Holley makes a handful of other vital parts to help you stuff a Godzilla 7.3L wherever you want it, including:
