Lame duck... that's a good one


Thanks for the ricer math. Except none of that changes the fact the V10's have split pin cranks, balance shafts, are not even in the ballpark of capability the 6.2 Boss has going for it. The V10 is a decent gasser work mule but the 6.2L can cover that and be a vastly better performer if an owner wants to put the screws to it. The V10 is a lame duck because it was all but abandoned by the aftermarket. $3,000 maybe seem a little steep but it is buying a more capable engine. Ford obviously seems to think so.
