F.Y.I. the v10 weighs just about the same as the old 5.0s, so it's not some overly large engine. The most difficult parts of the swap are the width of the v10 and the height. I'll post the specs tomorrow as I have 2 v10s in my garage and don't want to put my shoes back on tonight.

Okay, the v10 is 31" wide at it's widest points and roughly 36" tall from the bottom of the oil pan to the top of the plenum.

The link RTM is looking for is: http://twin-turbo-v10-mustang.envy.nu/home.html

Darn, that used to be his homepage. He was some Joe Dirt looking guy from the east coast. He had plans to twin turbo his v10 by putting the exhaust manifolds on backwards. I'll see if I can contact him through modfords. Sorry guys.

For $4,000-$8,000 you can buy a Ford Motorsports 514 big block, or a 450+ cu inch small block 5.0 that will make 400-600+hp out of the box. It will also bolt right in your F-250 and you tranny. You will spend triple that to convert a V-10 and have less, why do it ? If you're one of those guys who love that kind of challenge more power to ya. I do not have that kind of patience or those engineering skills needed. With the overabundance of good crate engines out nowadays that are built with correct parts and the cheap prices it's almost cheaper to replace rather than rebuild. Check into it, you may be surprised, Ken
