Hello everyone,

I blew the motor in my 2000 V10 4x4 Ex, and am now looking for a replacement motor. Im looking now for a 2002-2005 motor since it will have the heads with the longer threads. Would any V10 2002-2005 from a Superduty or Ex just swap right in?

Would anybody have a lead on one in the SoCal area? Or perhaps a reputable mechanic that they have done business with in the past to install a replacement? Perhaps a member here locally that would be willing to perform the install and is looking for some work?

Thank you, I appreciate any help

 

What exactly blew? A hole in the side of the block?

 

+1, interested as well.

 

Yes, a hole in the side of the block.

 

I have a 2003 V10 motor coming out of my Excursion this later fall, but you're a bit too far and likely this is your daily driver.

You could try something like Jasper.

 

Watcha puttin in dere ?

 

Wise guy, aren't you supposed to be building some of my conversion parts? Saved myself some time and copied my response from another forum.

Cummins is almost ready for assembly and my office looks like a parts room as I've been rebuilding anything I could, and storing in my clean dry office. I'm starting with a 2003 Ex, and a 1995 140k 12 valve. It was the cleanest 12 valve I've possibly ever seen before I started, but I'm a bit OCD so everything gets rebuilt, prepped, painted, etc. The crank and cylinders are amazing still with good crosshatch, no ridge present, no signs of ever being overheated or lugged. The p-pump is only a 160 for the starting build and might be upgraded later depending on how this works out (and finances of course).

So far looks like this and I'm a bit on hold awaiting new work details for latest contract but here it is in a nutshell:

1995 6bt
HE351WC rebuilt with new cartridge and boost adapter with modified solenoid plug
DFI 5x14 SAC's with needle work
Colt Stage 3 cam and 24 valve lifters
Rebuilt 1998 PS/Vacuum pump with hydroboost option rebuilt with Gould Gear kit
Two dual vented valve covers, one oil fill cover, and retaining one stock cover for rear under cowl
Front cover plug set for removing front oil filler
Keating rear billet freeze plug kit (may install bypass)
Keating solid tappet cover (non-vented at my request)
Crazy Carls turbo adapters, 1/2 inch spacer, lines etc
Head reworked (took forever around here with 'pulling season' to find a machinist to finish this):
- valve job
- machined guide area and installed top hat new style seals
- minor cleanup/mill
- unshrouded beneath exhaust valves/bowls
- +60 Cummins valve springs, keepers, retainers
Clevite CB1413H rod bearings
ARP head studs
Enterprise Engine milled rocker pedestals
Fluidampr with sensor relocation kit
P-pump (taking it easy up front until all broken in):
- 181 DV's and o-rings (kept 131's for later though not much difference there and with either I shouldn't be blacking out anyone)
- TST 4k kit
- 2095 rack plug
- AFC Live and w/properly machined foot
Billet KDP fix (I know, a washer would have done it lol)
6.0 intercooler, starter, and 32 row trans cooler
Fuel heater delete and studs
Tork Teknology adjustable overflow valve OFV020

Planning on:
Initial p-pump timing of 18-19*
4R100 using a conversion adapter plate/flex plate and PCS TCM controller
Custom stall triple disk billet converter
4" exhaust
...and a lot more to finish this... the rest of the parts are holding me up due to financing, but that will change in time.

The truck is already mildly lifted on X code front springs, modified B/C code rears, and Bilsteins on the corners with Hellwig A/S bar. Keeping the stock 3.73 Sterling diffs and going to 35" tires once the Cummins is installed as that tire size now would kill that v10 hog.

2005 V10s from a truck will be a 3V and would be difficult to install.k

Any 2003 and up E350 van V10 will fit nicely as the are all 2V motors. I think they are still made for the E350 chassis cabs. Lots in salvage yards, just search for E350 instead of excursion or pickup.

You can even get a brand new 2V V10 from ford for about $4800..that's new Not refurbished.

If you were willing to keep your original heads than ford also sells a new short block for about $1800. That's new NOT refurbished.

FYI 2000 and 2001 heads are nothing to be worried about if you torque plugs to 25 ft lbs. I put 12 psi boost to my V10 2000 and have had no issues.

 

Thanks everyone for the input so far. Pricing it out now and looking for installer. Any leads on good installer in SoCal area are appreciated.

 

Maybe ask the guys in SoCal? Plenty of good brothers who'll help you out.
