Thanks Monsta. Retro would be great. Has anyone seen a V10 in a non stock application? I'm surprised this engine doesn't receive more attention than it does.

Down in the V10 is a link to a fella who stuffed one in his Mustang.

i seen a v10 used as a power source fer a generator one time. best i recall it was carburated also. i was just thinkin the other day that ford should design a v10 and 5.4 model to put in boats. the over head cam engines are higher reving compared to the push rod engines. and since engines in boats are continuosly running higher rpm's i think they would alot more durable. but hey, that could just be my ford bias commin' through. i do know that mercury marine has a 7.3 powerstroke version fer boats but i have yet to seen one in a boat yet.

Saw one in a Police Intercepter last week. They were fitting it for all the police stuff, fresh straight from the factory, a stripped Crown Vic with a V10. Don't know if this is special but I never saw one before!
