V10 Triton swap in a mustang
I have a 1998 Mustang with a V6. I thought I'd consider doing a swap with a V10. I don't know a whole lot about the trucks, or if the engine would even fir in a 1998. I've seen online photos of a V10 Mustang but they didn't have a Triton in it.
So I guess what I'm here for is if anyone has any tips for me I would appreciate it. Also what would be the best year truck to take the engine out of? Would these engines have good HP and Torque for my mustang? I was on Wikipedia and noticed that these motors only have a tad over 300HP until 2005 they have about 360HP. and only 2 and 3 valve heads, are there heads with more valves for performance applications?

They make a good engine for a truck or big car but the aftermarket isn't very supportive for them. Not trying to discourage you too much but there's a lot better performing motors you could use to put in a mustang unless you get the motor for free. I halfway put one into a F150 and they are not as heavy as you might think. The transmissions on the other hand weight a ton. Youtube has a few videos of guys who have put them into mustangs.
