Best V10???

Any opinions on what year(s) was the best (or worse) V10? For design, economy, power, etc.

Some of the earlyer V10's have had problems with blowing out the odd spark plug. Most of these are 2000 and older. Also some exhaust manifold studs rusted and broke on I believe it was 2003 and older. 05+ have the most power and 99 and older have the least (not to say they are weak). Over all they are all good stong engines that last a long time. The years I gave are guestimates. When some of the long time posters get on the can give better details. If you get one you'll fine them very addicting.

Best v-10 = 05 model year and up... 3 valves per cylinder, refined exhaust/intake system... 355 HP as opposed to 2 valve's 310 HP

Worst (if you can call it that) v-10 = 99-01 model year, early design, very few minor problems with head design... still good engines

Overall... good, reliable engines that can last loonnnggg time.

The so called worst are from 97 -99 97 and 98 where in vans only in 2000 they changed to the PI heads. 2000 thru 2004 are the same motors.
