I have seen where some guys put a 6.8L Triton in a mustang once, but not in an F150.
I never really thought the V10 would be a viable option since it has always been limited to 2 valve heads, but now that there is a 3valve version out, I would consider it. I did some searching around on here and on Yahoo, and couldn't find anyone who had done it.
What would it take to put a 3 valve V10 into a 2000 regular cab flareside where a 5.4 once lived?

 

I have still been looking, and havent found anything yet. Anyone?

 

wow, over 350 horses

 

Is that all? Punch it out and see how much you can get with that motor. With that thought, what IS the most power ever stuffed into a f-150?

 

I figured that using the ECM from an F250, it would be pretty easy, electronics-wise. I have access to photograph a 2V V10 here where I work, and I took some pictures of the mounting bosses and such. I'll try to put them up here if I can.
From there, I could get an Xcalibrator2 and see what a performance tune would do for it, as well as longtube headers and all of the other things I can stick on there.

 

"is that all?" I'd say 355 is alot better than 270 sumtin. It aint a lightning motor.......

 

It bolts right in. You may need to switch to electric fans for rad clearance but that is no biggie. I almost did this swap but my engine deal fell through so I pulled the 4.6 and put in a 5.4. If I ever get my hands on a sweet deal like the 6.8 I had again I will go ahead and do it. Granted a 5.4 can be built to produce a lot more power but just the thought of a V10 in an F-150 is worth the headache.

 

money would be better spent just putting a lightning motor in, if the original 5.4 was bad. If it's fine, just put a blower on it.

 

HI!... Well I have a 400H.P plus 5.4 N/A in my truck and it is not too much power. If someone would of made aftermarket cams for the V-10, I would of gone that route instead of a BUILT 5.4.

 

How much $$$ do you have in that thing.

 

HI!... Enough! LOL!

 

lol you hope!! lol

 

heheh- dito. i still want to see some video neal!

 

The 3v F150 would be easy to physically install, hard to get running. You'd either need to adapt a processor from a newer 3v vehicle, come up with your own controller for the variable valve timing, or come up with a setup to lock the cams in one position (which I think is what you get if you just left it not hooked up, but cams would likely not be locked in a good position power-wise). Also if not using a 3v processor need to adapt to a throttle body with a cable, 3v motors have no cable.


I'm sure some of the race Lightnings are at 700+, and someone somewhere has to have a 1000hp motor in an F150......

 

Thats what I was saying, get the ECM and related gizmos from the donor 3V F230/350-whatever and transplant it all into my 2000.
