Got some bad news guys,

Doing my research about the Ford V-10 6.8L i recently found out that the V-10 cranks are not strond enough to support a turbo and very high HP.
That was posted by Neal "The hp freak" on the lightning forum:

"HI!... The crank is very weak in the v-10 and is known for breaking at higher HP #'s. I was going to build up a v-10 a few years ago to put in mu F-150 but after seeing the crank and talking to a few buddies that work at FORD's here in WINDSOR that are in the foundry and the assembly line I scrapped the idea."

"HI!... The V-10 crank is forged. It's off-set cut due to the firing order. If you ever saw one you would wonder why it does break at idle let alone 6000RPM on a 500RWH.P application."

"HI!... No, actually it's the way the crank is built. The 4.6/5.4 cranks use 100% of the cranks center core. The v-10 only uses 50% of the cranks center core in some spots, due to allowance for the odd firing order."

Will have to try to find a another bigger engine because the V-10 is out of the game now.

 

Below is a video where a 5.4 L (Ford GT) was twin turbo'ed to 1,000 hp...don't know if you can make it with a truck with the drive train losses...probably can run the same times with 900 hp...after about 800 hp, chassic setup will become your biggest obstacle...

Rafa,

There's a local guy here where I live pushing over 900 rwhp in a 4.6L Mustang twin turbo. It's easily a 9 sec. car. My question is why not build a more common smaller displacement motor and reap the cost/weight advantage?

 

rafa with the money your putting into your rides get a custom crank built and custom cam with a different firing order

 

Yeah, I mean it's still a V-10.

Just beef it up. I assume you would have to do this with any motor, if you're wanting it to support higher hp. Projects like this, are the reason companies such as Edlebrock are able to stay in business. Don't give up on the V-10!

 

Do you guys think that SCAT could do a Forged crank ?

http://www.scatcrankshafts.com/
http://www.scatenterprises.com/

Which company is better ?

 

i believe those are the same company i know scat made V4's for midgets back in the day and they were the engine to have it was basically a big block chevy v8 cut in half, im sure with your open check book budget they can build you something

 

why not use the 5.4 4 valve? mated with a new 6r tranny?

 

What's the 6R tranny?

 

6-speed, 2009 the F150 will get that tranny.

When you say fast single cab one truck comes to mind... The 2004 Bonspeed F150, 5.4 4v, t-56, navi IRS

 

The dude here said that tranny will be available for f-150's on 2009 only.

 

also found in the 07 expiditon

 

That's top speed.. think he's talking about 1/4 mile.

This truck might have you beat already Rafa: https://www.f150online.com/galleries...1089&anum=7591

here's a thread about it. I have read some places on the net that it has a v6 with twin hair dryers.....
I cant find solid specs about the engine.. but obvisually.. it has a twin turbo setup.

Here is another site: http://www.robidaconcepts.com/page/page/1916737.htm

 

I live 15 minutes from PSP and I would love to see that.

On the link above they say the truck has 1000 streetable HP, don't know if it's on the tires or flywheel.
