This is a 1981 "Bullnose" Ford Bronco that has been rebuilt into a vehicle with a 7.3 liter Ford Godzilla V8 up front turning out 420 bhp – that's 45 bhp
Love this thing but 420HP out of a modern 7.3L engine is weak sauce. The GM 5.3L truck motors make nearly that much power stock. The HP rating shouldn’t be the highlight of this build.

You’d be surprised what boost can do. The link isn’t loading for me, but I’d imagine that’s an NA motor. Otherwise, yeesh
Yeah it’s NA, its the bigger gas engine option in current model year F-350s.

It is a highlight because older cars didn’t make HP like today’s engines do. So getting an older car with modern car horsepower is a big deal.
