Rock on!It should fit minus the extra space open between the radiator and engine front. Its very tight between the shock towers and hydraboost/clutch cable. Buy a steering rag joint replacement and get it swapped out now. Once you set this beast in, you're not going to like the amount of space thats available to work on other things.The exhaust is a pain. With my 5.4l i took a jegs H-pipe and extended the drop from the manifold mounts and added extra to the H pipe itself. Im sure any exhaust shop can handle this or a full exhaust build.Be sure the heater core input line has an orfice in the hose directly off the engine or youll pop the hose. Over and over.I have a few regrind stock camshaft ideas burning a hole in my mind here lately and v10 cams are a part of that project. Maybe ill figure out a nice pattern before youre finished. I already have a 5.4l pattern which is exactly the same lobe pattern as the v10.With the 5.4l, 3:55 rear gears is as deep as i want to go. The off idle torque from these naturally aspirated engine is phenomenal. Same goes for 5th gear driving. Their is no reason to gear down to gain speed.</blockquote>
