Just dreamin',maybe?

Hey gang,would anybody have any thoughts on how a F150 with a V10 would be?I've had a few F150's before,but can't imagine what the modular would do to a F150's mind.I'd feel sorry for the guy behind em'.

anything is possible with the right budget line

though it wouldn't make sence to put a v10 in an f150, save your self the time and the trouble just get a supercharger, but honestly who likes to go the easy way

It's definitly some thing I'd like to see, possibly a supercharged V-10 under the hood of an f-150 (that I'll be the day)

There's a guy running around here in a F150 with 40 Valve DOHC Triton V10 BOSS tags and badges... exhaust pipe looked a bit small to have anything bigger than a 4.6 though. Was really interesting the first time I saw it.

I think if they did a V10 swap, you could tell with the exhaust sound. Perhaps he did the easier and cheaper "Badge" swap.



I'd rather put a diesel in a F-150 then a V10. Get some nice smoke, and everything would think it's breaking down.

If it's only stickers and badges,check his prescription label we may need to up the dosage.

It's theoretically possible to use DOHC heads from a V8, cut them up, and weld them back together to make a V10 head. Including cams, of course.

But who'd wanna?

I think that's where that 4.6-based V10 came from, cutting up two 4.6L blocks and welding them back together...

Theoretically? Man... sounds like a royal PITA... but the unique factor would be BOMB. I kinda wanna do it now

I looked at my 70 f-250 4x4 next to my 99 f-250 4x4 and the only thing i could think of was "she'll kill me"!

Someone said it wasn't a good idea, if you go more then stock. Something about crankshaft being week in the middle?

Just trying to go off what I remember.....

The only weakness I know of in the V10 crank is the snout - when you get into very large blowers, you can break off the snout of the crank.

There's a support bearing someone made for it out there on the 'net.
