Found this article and thought it was really cool.. Another in the list of shoulda, woulda, coulda from the skunk works at Ford...

That’s so cool. I almost did this at one point in time

If I had the means to machine my own block and crank I’d build a custom v10 in a heartbeat!!!!!!

You know the trucks came with v10’s right? It’s a modular engine that uses the same trans, mounts, and accessories as a regular mod car. The hard parts are headers and intake manifold.

The article explained that they didn’t use the truck motor. It was a one off machined custom aluminum block. Crank and cam was custom built as well.

Yeah, but this prototype was 2 4.6 blocks mated together minus six cylinders, so it was a low deck, the truck V10 is a high deck like the 5.4 block.

Bastage beat me to it by a half hour, should of read the whole thread....

 

[Boostr1]

Hmm, @white95 is quite mum on this...

 

[lwarrior1016]

I get all that, but the special matching tools aren’t required to make this happen. And why not keep the tall deck and take advantage of the stroke and torque that the 5.4/6.8 puts out?

Plus a wicked 8" cowel hood...

Hence the custom intake part of the equation. That’s the part that kept me away from doing the swap.

If using the 6.8 wouldn’t is be as simple as taking two plastic Coyote intakes and making it happen?

Well, I don’t think the 6.8 ever came in 4v so it would have to be two 4.6 eddy intakes made to fit.

Good point.. We should cut and weld four C-heads together instead just so we can use Coyote intakes and be difficult.

or

Cut/weld four C-heads together AND two GT500 lowers together with a custom, larger intercooler for a Whipple setup.

Then we will put this monstrosity in a truck.

Oh hells no!!! Turbo it, put it in an old 2 door Fairmont an cut the firewall out so you can set it back far enough to hide it all!! Then take it out on the street an run it against some of these young punks and scare the shit out them while taking their $$$!!!!
