10 of our favorite Ford V-8s

10. Godzilla V-8 (2020–Present)

Pushrods are back, baby.

The 7.3-liter Godzilla engine was designed for trucks, but gearheads immediately saw hot rod potential. It’s compact, powerful (430 hp, 475 lb-ft), and responds well to mods. Think of it as the rebirth of the big-block, but with better tech.

We’re already seeing it pop up in classic swaps, and it’s just getting started.
Why it matters: A modern pushrod V-8 built to haul—and haul ass.
