My first issue is who supports it, I'm not a mechanic and even if I were the cost to built and maintain a one off custom motor would be very expensive, If I toss a rod now I can pick up the phone and order a motor from a dozen different builders, with that said I do think it would be very a cool set up.

I think this would be a killer project....things I would worry about though.
Ignition for a 10 cylinder.....cams for a 10 cylinder (personally I would want billets) but come to think of it you could use stock cams with a turbo setup
Induction could be any manifold as long as a turbo or turbos were plumbed to it.
3 valve heads

PS....Hey Steve is it time to step it up a notch ??

I know its a Dodge but...
You can order a crate Viper motor. All aluminium and weighs less than our V8s. Blower kits are now out for these motors.
I think it would make a really nice bastard and over 600lbs less than the SRT-10 with the lighter motor.

Ps. I have my triple layer flame suit on for this one.

Can i be a canditate ? Not for my Lincoln Mark LT. I would like to have a V10 in a F-150 2005 single cab short bed like this:
Let me know if we can discuss it.
Thanks.

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.
