Ford SVT V10
My nieghbor just sent me this webpage. I thought many here would find it interesting.

The article makes it sound like it will be produced, but the date leads to doubt.

The date of the article is April 1, April Fools. The name on the article, Goerge P. Burdell is a fictiscious name. Too good to be true.

I did cut and paste the V10 with a blower picture and tried every way to blow it up and still have good detail.
Even if it is an April fools joke on the truck (another clue was calling it a F350 but showing 6 lug rims) the motor looks real enough and not "morphed" so at least one puffed up V10 exists besides all the owner modified KennyBell and Whipple mods.
Curious though ... go look at the motor closely and then the enlarged version.
OK on top is the standard location alternator. But down on lower right front (with OUT a belt) is another alternator????.... whats up with that? Is there a dual alt kit for the V10? How/why did they screw up and not have a belt on it? I have been looking for 5 years for the ability to add second alternator but have not found any (good) solutions.

BUT, when John Coletti left he left with the rules of taking only the lightest platform and making SVT's, hence the std cab F-150, the Mustang, the Contour, etc. But Hau-Thai Tang isn't Coletti, and he's said he's got some different ideas on things, thankfully. I would look for some way different versions of SVT vehicles in the next couple years. The Fusion, that will be an SVT-ized car. The Lightning is officially dead, as it WAS, but what could it be next ? An SD ? A crewcab ? An Expedition ? An ext-length Expedition with a 6+ liter Hurricane under the hood ? I don't see the Tsunami as a chance, too impractical, but I do expect some vehicles to compete with the SRT vehicles, the SS, the AMG, the M, etc. Ford needs to come to the plate, or lose big. $3 a gallon means less to a more wealthy, more thrill seeking population. HP rules along with comfort, convenience and gadgets, it's coming. Get ready to accept it and get run over by it, but it's here.
