Ford's 7.3-liter naturally aspirated "Godzilla" V-8 is one of the more interesting powerplants on sale today. Available in a selection of full-sized Ford trucks and also as a crate motor, it delivers 430 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque without the help of forced induction. If this latest report from Ford Authority is to be believed, Ford could be testing a twin-turbo version of the Godzilla engine.

Ford Authority, citing unnamed sources "familiar with the automaker's researched and development projects," says Ford has already begun testing on a twin-turbo version of the massive 7.3-liter push-rod motor in at least two Ford Super Duty trucks. There aren't any pictures of the trucks in question, but Ford Authority says they've been fitted with heat shields on each corner of the front end and modified hoods.
