LAS VEGAS: At the recent SEMA show (Nov 3 - 6, 2026) at the Las Vegas Convention Centre, a Bronco halo build had put Ford Racing Parts' new supercharged crate engine - over 1,200hp and over 1,000 lb ft (1,356Nm) of torque - on display for builders and enthusiasts.
Frostwarden is the first vehicle to put the new Megazilla 2.0 crate engine swap on full display.
It pairs a supercharged 7.3-litre V8 with hardware including 42-inch BFGoodrich tyres, custom 18-inch Weld bead-lock wheels, 74Weld portal gear lifts, upgraded Dana driveline hardware, and custom Bilstein dampers.
It is intentionally extreme, built to show what Ford Racing Parts, Ford engineering, and a network of expert partners can do when the brief is simple: go big.
Frostwarden is a specialty modified performance vehicle and is not available for purchase.
Megazilla 2.0 starts with the same 7.3-litre family that anchors Ford’s large-displacement crate-engine lineup, but this is not Megazilla 1.0 with a supercharger bolted on.
The 2.0 is a new development programme with a stronger block, supercharger-specific camshaft, upgraded pistons, larger fuel injectors, a different belt drive and damper, and a 3.0-litre Gen 6 Whipple supercharger at the centre of the package.
The result is the most powerful crate engine ever created by an automaker.
That matters because crate engines have long been a cornerstone of Ford Racing Parts.
Builders come to Ford Racing Parts' catalog with wildly different projects, from heritage Mustang and Bronco builds to F-100, Fox-body Mustang, and modern custom chassis projects.
Ford Racing Parts' goal is to give them Ford-designed, Ford-engineered powertrains that can become the foundation of those builds.
"Megazilla 2.0 pushes that idea to the far edge of the catalog: a flagship engine created to draw people in, show the ceiling of what is possible, and inspire the project that comes next," says the company.
