Yea, that's the engine I want for the 98. But mann, I'd have to have a drivable doner to pull that off. The 2V V10 would be cake, just the engine will do, but it's the 3V power I'm after. Without it, it wouldn't be worth it IMO. The 3V V10 is a bad *** motor..for sure. Numbers compare to the lightning power plant. Where the 2V 10 numbers compare to the 3V 5four. Quite a bit of difference between the two.

Yeah I have a 2010 F350 RCLB with a utility box as a company work truck and its not bad. Can actually get out of its own way even with 8k worth of tools and equipment.

Wow really, - that's allot of weight! I haven't had the chance to drive the 3V 10 yet. Just heard the all the stories..great engine. I wonder how much head work I'd have to do to the 2v 10 to get it even close to the 3v's power/torque? The 2V's a simple swap.

The swap threads I have read through made it seem not quite so simple. Did they miss something important?

It's not simple at all. The 4v swap is the simple one.


The 3v is a POS compared to a pi 2v.
