If it's an F-series, the pan should be fine, but the engine will be a PI-head (Performance Improved) if it's a 2000 and later.

Need to know the year and series first.

Are the valve covers black plastic, or aluminum? Aluminum is 3-valve, and you don't want that.

If it's a 2-valve (black plastic valve covers) it'll work, but that would have to be an E-series, and you'll need to swap the pan and pickup. Use the exhaust manifolds from the 2012, intake, everything.

You should talk to 5-star tuning about tuning your PCM for the PI-head engine.

Just like in the van's forums the vehicle your found V10 is in might affect whether it can be fitted and adapted into the E-Series chassis.

Another way to say that would be: The E-series uses a 2-valve V10 for all years. At long as that 2010 V10 comes from an E-series, it should all be bolt-up I believe.

If that 2010 V10 is from an F-series, it's 3-valve, and will not work. I don't even think it will fit.

I have a 09 f350 superduty v10 that has thrown a rod thru the block. I also have a 99 e450 with v10, Will the 99 engine bolt into the 09 f350 ? I realize I will need most of the 09 stuff, But is this swap possible ?

The '99 will be a non-PI head 2-valve, and the 2009 will be a three-valve. Getting that all to work would be a HUGE effort. You need to stick with a 2005+ F-series V10.

2001 F-350 Super Duty 4X4 DRW 6.8L V-10 replacement upgrade

My 6.8 put a rod through the oil pan in the middle of a trip and I had a local shop put an ATK/Vege crate in. It started knocking at 2k km and and is showing ferrous in the oil filter so they have agreed to replace it.

It doesn't quite haul my 8000lb trailer up the hill as I would like, so I'm thinking of upgrading to a full dress engine and I would like to know if anyone has put a later build V-10 into a 2001. Specifically, I would like to put the 5C3E block 3 valve version that has 50 more hp. and give it a boost with headers.
https://www.enginebuildermag.com/201...rd-triton-v10/

I'm pretty much stuck with ATK for a warranty replacement.

1) Will it bolt up to the tranny?
2) Is it compatible with the existing peripherals like ECM, wiring harness, hoses, intake, etc.

Many thanks for any insights!

You will have a very hard time adapting a 3V V10 into a 2V V10 truck without spending way more than it is worth.
