Yeah I've been digging around on their website. I'm going to see what my guy can do (yes he's a very highly trained professional).
With any luck my new X4 will be here this weekend!! IT BEGINS!

 

Gonna have a BIG hole in the wallet eh?

 

I just said it begins, not how far it's going to go! Haha


Not going to get too crazy with it.

 

What you need to do is add a couple of turbochargers and make it a V10 EcoBoost.

 

Heck yeah!


Is there someone on here that has a big turbo motor? That has actually had to upgrade the internals?


I bet that thing would sound like a 747 on takeoff.

 

The other idea I had the idea of taking a V10, putting twin turbos on it and shoving the whole thing into a classic Mustang. I'd love to see someone do that with the Excursion or a V10 Super Duty.

 

That would be a great episode/project for Fast and Loud!!! They do some kawrazy builds!

 

If my budget would allow for something like that, I'd do it. Realistically, I'll probably buy another Trans Am and drop a newer LSx into it or get a Mustang of some sort and pull the 5.0L out of a wrecked S197 or S550 Mustang for it.

 

I have seen, with my own eyes, a V10 sn95 mustang. It was crammed in there pretty good.
The owner said it didn't drive too bad at all, had crazy torque but behaved well.

 

I have had my 99 ,V10 , scsb with a manual 5 speed, for 3 years now.
It took me 3 years to find the V10 with the manual trans and the package I wanted.
Unfortunately it did come in Black, but it looks killer , and has been a great truck.
The company I work for , does heavy civil construction, builds dams, bridges , etc.
All of the other guys drive the Cummins , I am the only one with a gas or a Ford .

I many times have to haul equipment and supplies , and my fuel bill has always been less than the others , and when the Secretary asks why, the owner always laughs , and says I am able to fly like the wind with that Damn ford.

I do have 35's and 3:73 gears , but empty I pull a consistent 14 mpg .
When I say empty, it means I usually have 5-7 hundred pounds in the bed , and 2 dogs that weigh 35 pounds each.

Loaded with 12.000 pounds on the back, mileage is around 7 at 65-70 mph.

I have put 25k miles a year on this truck, and have had only a couple of actual issues, a/c compressor went out , I have replaced front breaks , and the sector shaft developed a crack.
I don't believe the sector shaft was caused by the over size tires, as I have read many of the early shafts were weak, and there was a design change, mid year .
I have also replaced the tires, this will be my second set, Cooper Mud Claws .

I drive a mix of hiway , gravel and improved roads , Snow and ice in winter , heat of summer.

I love this truck , and will most likely have it until the day I die.
I had a 94 Ranger , with the 4.0 that I put 568.000 miles on , and it was a fantastic truck.
I just wanted more room, towing capacity and a Super Duty .

 

There is a video on you tube that shows Ford using a mustang as the test mule for the V10.
