CWI Performance is Rebuilding Foxzilla with a 850+ hp NA Godzilla V8

In 2023 CWI Performance (Creative Werks Inc) created “Foxzilla” using a Fox Body Mustang. The company is rebuilding the Mustang with some changes on the powertrain. The car is still powered by a 7.3 L Godzilla V8. Although the previous setup used a supercharged Godzilla V8, CWI Performance will be now be using a naturally aspirated Godzilla V8 built by Indy Power Products. The motor will feature close to 12:1 compression, wet sump oil pan, and custom 3-inch round to oval exhaust. Innov8 billet individual throttle bodies will provide the motor enough air to reach 850-900 hp (625-661 kW). Another major change to the powertrain will be transmission. The previous setup used a T56 Magnum six-speed manual transmission. CWI Performance is swapping to ZF 8HP70 eight-speed automatic transmission using a LOJ Conversions adapter plate. Listen to the team discuss the motor and begin the rebuild in the video below.
