Ford has finally made its 615-horsepower, 7.3-liter Megazilla V8 crate engine available for purchase at a price of $22,995. The engine features CNC-ported aluminum heads, a low-profile intake manifold, a 92-millimeter throttle body, and an upgraded camshaft. With its impressive power and torque output, the Megazilla is expected to be popular among enthusiasts looking to upgrade their vehicles. However, the high price tag may deter some buyers who could achieve similar power levels with the standard 7.3-liter engine at a lower cost.
