how much modification to the engine bay and mounts were needed to make the v10 fit? does the tranny bolt right up? how is the gas mileage?

mounts just require a flip around. the v8 fit the v10. Tranny bolts right up and mileage is great. 23 on the highway and about 15 in town. That data has been verified on two 1100 mile trips to CO. As far as mods go. the electrical is the hardest. Engine connector on the v8 is on the left whereas on the v10 its on the right. That was the hardest part out of it all. And I built the V10 in my kitchen.

Loved it
