I have a 2000 f350 with a 5.4 auto


I have re-greared my axles to 5.38s to compensate for the 44" boggers. When I go wheeling, I always use 4lo and it has plenty of power. Around town its fine, but then I get on the hiway, it barely has enough power to keep it rolling at 100 km/h in overdrive. Most of the time, I turn the OD off to keep it from downshifting every 15 seconds.

All I have done to the motor are a K&N filter and a custom 3" catback with a 3" high flow cat. There really arent that many mods I can do the the 5.4 to get some decent power. E-fans would help( 15-20 rwhp i've read) but other than that there isnt too much out there to give me the power i need/want. I dont really want to supercharge it, I will just get mud in the intercooler and belt system.

This leads me to the V10 swap, It would be the easiest swap because it would bolt right in. I would probably just look for a 2v V10, as I dont know if a 3v wiring harness/computer will work with my 4r100 and the rest of my trucks sensors.

Anyways, any sugestions/input on V10 vs V8 performance and if this is a worth while swap.

P.S...I do not want to swap to Diesel!!!!..too heavy
