Hello,
new here. Tryin to put in some due diligence here on a potential purchase. 2000 Excursion V10 w a 2016 SD conversion front / back and interior. It’s obviously has a ton of work put into it. Seller has it 20k OBO. I’ll post the mechanical work done in here. The list of other work done is very long. So leaving that out. I’m here to get some realistic expectations regarding the future of the engine, maybe even the trans. It’s not 4x4. What kind of miles do you guys have on your V10’s? This one I’m looking at has 250k mi on it. I guess worst case scenario is an engine failure a lot earlier than I’d like for some unforeseen reason down the road should I buy this rig. I’ve found a couple of complete rebuilt blocks w heads and valve cover w multi year warranties for around 5k. ebay com/itm/266270023555?

With the amount of labor hours put into customizing that thing, including the first "double bumper double fog light" execution I've ever seen, it really doesn't matter whether or not the rig runs.
If you like the look, and like the workmanship (which cannot be determined by a photo), then consider how many hours, weeks, or years (in my case) it would take you to achieve the same look, at a level of workmanship that meets your standard.
Assign yourself an hourly rate, then quadruple the number of hours you initially estimated might be enough to get the work done, and then multiply your hourly rate times the quadrupled number of man hours you estimated. Then add the cost of parts. That is what the rig is worth ... to you.
Running everyday Excursions are still widely available... especially during times of high gas and fuel prices.
