Ford just announced the availability of the 6.8L V-10 producing 410 BHP and 485 Ft/Lbs of torque. This engine is now an available option on all New body style F-150's for the remainder of the 2004 model year and 2005.

The V-10 has been in prototype production at Powertech Engines Inc. in Fullerton, CA. All preliminary test have concluded including production line design.

Ford regrets the lack of availability for the beginning on the model year, but is pleased to be able to offer the option prior to the 2005 model year.

















of course you realize what day today is.....

 

Not funny! I'd have ordered that in a heartbeat!!!

 

Man, that's just mean.

 

That's a good one. I was already thinking
about selling my truck.

'04 Lariat Screw

 

I now its April Fools day but for Real?

 

JUNK

 

Ya got me.....

 

Aside from the joke....

the 6.8 wasn't available in the previous model due to size limitation.

Would it fit in the new truck?

Maybe a supercharged V10 for the next Lightning? That would be a huge FU to Dodge.

 

eauclaire, you must be a heck of a fisherman...



I fell for it - hook, line and sinker!!!!

 

I couldn't help it. I'm sorry.

 

Looks like your getting a few peoples attention

 

I already had my checkbook out

 

Hey, if you can get 410 BHP and 485 Ft/Lbs of torque out of a naturally aspirated 6.8L V10, YOU should come work for Ford!

I would write a check for that without even thinking about it!

 

his numbers are about right for the 3v v10 fords got in testing... but no word on release
