Stumbled upon this page earlier, thought it was a bit interesting... Maybe the "big truck" crowd is making waves? (Note The V10 !!)

Motivated by the familiar 6.8L Triton® SOHC SEFI 30-valve V10 engine, SVT promotes additional thrust with the help of an intercooled supercharger and tuned exhaust. This powerplant, also slated for use in the next generation Lightning, is more than adequate for propelling Ford's largest and heaviest weapon.

With 512 horsepower and 640 lb.-ft. of pavement-ripping torque, the SVT Tsunami is likely to show the industry who's king after all.


I wish it were true

Funny - I looked this and thought "could this be Ben's work?".

With some very minor mods a V10 will fit in the GenII Lightning with no problem. Also fits in the new/current Mustang.

 

MODERATORS:

AS TO BEN/GEAR FX:

 

He screwed one thing up. He said it was a 3valve V10 but the picture is a old 2valve V10.

And the engine also has two alternators and one is not driven by a belt.

 

"The SVT Tsunami" Don't think that would fly.
