It’s all there. All they have to do is calibrate it all and get it through emissions standards.
I don't get the appeal of the Godzilla, at least in a performance application.

Sure, Godzilla has big capacity, but in stock form it's a low revving slogger. A Coyote on the other hand is a very raunchy engine, sounds great and revs to the moon.

Think of it like this, the Barra 220 3V used in the BA Falcon was a torque monster, but it was pretty slow revving and tagged the rev limiter at 5250rpm. A Boss 260 or 290 on the other hand revved harder and faster, and sounded great in stock form too. This is not to knock the Barra 220, but as a performance orientated tool, it's not really all that exciting. Same applies to the Godzilla.
