GotMustangs said:This V-10 is nothing like the truck V-10 that Ford currently produces. It is virtually a 4.6 aluminum Cobra block with two cylinders added to it, so it's only 4" longer than a factory 4.6 but retains the same deck height and will fit under a stock GT hood.

Like it has been said, the V10 is basically a 4.6 block lengthened by two cylinders. They say that they literally took 2 4.6 molds and cut them in two, then stuck the two halves together. They did the same with the molds for the Cobra R intake and heads. I believe it also uses lengthened N/A Cobra or Mach 1 cams and 03 Cobra Rods. Compression is only around 10:1.
They say the engine is actually an excellent fit for the engine bay because it is built off the 4.6 block. The overall length is only 4 inches greater than the regular 4.6. Supposedly the engine is actually a lot cheaper to build than the 03 Cobra engine.
Also, its not 425 HP. It was over 400rwhp/tq with 4-6 cats, 4 mufflers, and crappy headers to keep it whisper quiet.
Blah blah blah... I WANT ONE!
jadesville said:geez, it would be 425 HP if you took all that exhaust off, 4 mufflers? wow..it must be pretty damn quiet then
i want one too
99SilverGT said:Yea, they said the engine really came alive when they added the two extra cylinders. I so hope this engine makes into production. For that matter, there is already a version of it in the Ford 427 due out in a little while. The 427 v-10 is actually a stroked version of the engine that these engineers fabricated behind everyones backs. They must have made a favorable impression...
im kind of suprised no one has tried to replicate one though, wouldn't be too hard...
jadesville said:i wouldnt doubt it at all, add two cylinders on any engine and it will come alive, i havent heard about the 427 v-10, where did you hear about that?
i kinda wish they put the boss 10.0L into production, that woulda been sweet, so not practical though
They say the v-10 used in the 427 is based off the engine that they created. 76 cubes seems like a lot to get out of an engine that really can't be stroked much, but its what they claim. Maybe they did the block a little different in the 427 so they could increase the bore also.
