Supercharged hydrogen fuel V10
I sure would like one of these in my 2004 Excursion LTD. From the picture, it looks like it is built on the 2 valve motor. Thought you guys would like this. The article is from the Oct. 4, 2006 ASM International eNewsletter

Ford Motor Company has kicked off production of the world's first dedicated hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engines (ICE). The supercharged 6.8-liter V-10 engines are being installed in Ford's E-450 H2 ICE shuttle bus. Ford's 6.8-liter V-10 engine is specially prepared to burn hydrogen as a fuel, but is based on the same modular engines that power many Ford products. <O

Cool! Another kick in the pants for the V10 
The point of the supercharger is because there isn't enough oxygen in "regular" air to burn enough hydrogen so that it generates enough power.
I don't think the hydrogen-powered power is much more (if at all) than gasoline non-supercharged.
Of course, wait until someone puts a switch on the blower clutch ...

Can not find the link right now but I saw the initial article and the motor is low power then the 3v V10 NA motor, requires new harder material in the valves and seats and stronger pistons and rods... the rest is standard V10 motor....
The raw motor would be a good platform to change back to gasoline and over boost
