03 f250 v10 conversation with 05 f350 6 speed tranny
Hey guys, Here’s my story. I have an 03 f250 superduty with a v10 that pushed a rod through both sides of the block at 140k miles. I already have a reman waiting to go back in. I wanted to get more out of that v10, so I purchased an 05 f350 with a 5.4 with a 6 speed tranny which I want to mate to the v10. I believe I have all harness/ gauges, etc. I searched around for a turbo kit or supercharger to bolt in as well. But to no avail. So my thought came to drilling holes into the intake and supplying compressed air whenI desire a neck jerk. Any thoughts? |
What will keep the compressed air from back flowing out the air filter?
How are you going to meter the air and match it to the needed fuel delivery? And I guess the biggest question would be what is the source of this compression of air and how will it be stored? Either you will need an extremely high volume onboard compressor and/or a massive storage tank, either of which would be extremely inefficient in a street driven vehicle. |
Todd, your compressed air idea is not going to work for the reasons given above, foreget about that plan. What rear gears does this 2V V-10 have, and what size tire's? Going to deeper gears is the single biggest performance increase you can do for your 6.8 (that is, short of a well engineered turbo or super charged system, which will not be nearly as cheap as those new deeper gears). Running anything less than an effective 4.30 ratio and expecting very good performance may lead to some disappointment. |
I like the idea of placing the 6 speed manual gearbox behind the V10. Do you have access to a parts truck so you can acquire the 3 pedal equipment?
( I guess I am assuming the truck has an automatic right now) |
I would do some double checking of the parts you have on hand, the internals of the 4R100 auto trans had heavier internal parts for the V-10 over what the 5.4 V-10 had due to the 6.8's higher output, I'm not sure if the manual transmissions were setup the same way, that 5.4 six speed might not be strong enough to last behind the 6.8. Also I'm not sure if the bell housing bolt patterns were the same between the 2V and later 3V modular motors, so you may want to verify if the '05 trans and bell housing will even bolt up to the 2V ten. |
Thank you for responding.

I I acquired an 05 f350 superduty with the 5.4 and 6 speed automatic transmission. I was hoping there would be an adapter to mate the 6 speed to the v10. I do realize the 6r is not as beefy as the 4l100 but with some adjustments to the shift settings, I hope to keep the torque within tolerance. I believe this type of setup is in a few f650. But like 2016 and up. So. I thought you kind gentleman had an inside of what my end outcome would entail. |

thanks for your input. The truck has stock size tires and rearends. I misunderstood your original post and thought that you were talking about a six speed manual trans not an auto, the 6R110 is typically referred to as a five speed since that how many of its six gears it uses. They have a different bolt pattern i'm pretty sure. And I think you are in for a very serious challenge getting the combo work correctly. I would look at some new deeper gears and go that direction.............. |

Stock rearends is fine, but it doesn't tell us what gears they have, THAT is the important part of the puzzle, there were different ratios available when new from :oval.

No such thing as a 6R110. The 5 speed torqueshift is a 5r110W. The 2011 and later trucks use a massive 6r140 transmission. When the OP said 6 speed it was implied it was a ZF6 manual which was the only 6 speed offered in 2005. Also to emphasize every modular engine has the same bolt pattern.
|
This whole thread is highly confusing. The OP won't be able to swap the 5r110w into his 2003 truck, nothing is compatible. It will bolt up but that's it, the engine lacks the wiring. The 5r110w equipped trucks were all 3v drive by wire and can bus equipped.

As stated, all the :oval modular engines use the same bell housing bolt pattern.
Starting with the 6L diesels in 2003.5 model year, the :oval diesel engines in the Super Duty line use the same bolt pattern as the modular engines too. The exception to the above is that some early modular engines used a dual pattern transmission bolt pattern to accommodate either the small block Ford (SBF) bolt pattern or the modular bolt pattern. But that was mid-nineties and only in cars so not really applicable here. |
