I can 100% confirm this!

The company i work for is producing the current godzilla intake manifold. The new updated design manifold includes new dedicated machines that have been hanging around now for a good 8months now and all claim 6.8l.
I cant show any pics....thats another story.
But the intake is exactly the same dimensions as a 7.3l and will physically bolt directly to a 7.3l. This new 6.8l manifold has a throttle body opening that is 1/4" larger diameter than the 7.3l. I can shove my entire arm into the intake.. The throttle body angle is not at an extreme angle like the 7.3l intake, but still at an angle. The runners are slightly larger and straight, no bends. Much like a chevy LS intake.
With all this tid bit knowledge, we are still left guessing if the 6.8l engine will be a smaller bore or if its destroked or a combination of both being the engine physical size is most likely the same as the 7.3l. Ford history and simplicity in years past with the 429/460, and 351m/400m engines were the same engine block but diffeent internals. I would think they would keep the engine 90degree. A physical smaller version engine that accepts the same intake would put the engine V over 90degree. Maybe something like 120degree....that would be wide
When the new intake project arrived, my initial thought was an updated intake for the 7.3l. Much like how the coyote has 4 generations of mainfolds. Making this new intake a godzilla gen2 manifold. But all information associated with this project claimes a 6.8l godzilla. Its been said that more 7.3l machines are in the works to handle higher production for it.
Time will tell
Could Ford Be Replacing 6.2L Boss With A 6.8L Godzilla Variant?
Ford is set to retire the 6.2-liter Boss engine in the near future. Could Ford be replacing 6.2L Boss with a 6.8L Godzilla variant?
