Hey, nice truck! How hard was it to put the v10 in?

The V10 swap was pretty challenging. I had to almost completely redo the wiring and the driveline... and then I burned up a 4R100 transmission in the first 5 miles!!! (oops)
The front suspension also needed some modification and I had to custom make a few parts here and there.
Overall, I think it would be a very manageable project if you worked on it slowly. I use my truck for work and it is my only vehicle, so my V10 swap made for about two week's worth of eighteen hour days. It was sure worth it though!

wow that is one of the most different trucks I have seen on this forum.... and I love it I didn't know that they made the f250 LDs in a single cab, but the engine swap sounds badass, and I like the winch bumper and the cab lights!

If I get some crazy plans for the future, I know who I'm asking. Must have a pretty good power to weight ratio.

Your truck has this amazing balance between being brutally tough, and really sporty! I love the look of your ride bro!

Also, I second the comment on how you take some of the best pics on the forum!

Thanks for the comment, that V10's putting out about 680HP and 900ish ft lbs of torque in case you wanted to know.
