[trav2210]

Hello everyone, Ive been a bit loyal to another site and have realized I should give some love to the Expedition forum too. I have a lot of plans for my Expy and this so far has just been the tip of the iceberg.

next I'll be working on the trans and a Solid Axle Swap up front on Leafs and conversion of the rear to leafs.

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?

 

[tallsville]

welcome to the site. seen your thread on other site. hopefully you will enjoy this forum as much as the other

the V10 is just a 5.4 with 2 extra cylinders so the mounts are the same if i recall.

awesome! i love the V10 in my excursion..i'd love to have one in my expy too!

 

[trav2210]

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

i actually took the time to read the entire thread. i dont like wiring but other than that, it doesn't sound to bad. any videos of the exhaust.

i loved seeing this on f150online. thing is BEASTLY! all right. screw my 5.4 4v idea. i'm doin this!

 

[alaskanexpy]

just thinking about it...the expedition is a good bit lighter then my excursion..that extra power would really make her move even in stock form...wheels are turning in my head since i have a donor '00 V10 out of my wrecked '00 excursion just sitting there. damn! lol

do it!!!!

 

[alaskanexpy]

my 5.4 only has 80k on her...still like new! plus shes been so reliable lol

 

[GAINMOB]

thats an idea down the road whenever i do the supercharger..V10 it with a charger...

 

[SourMashII]

One of my potential ZF donors came with a complimentary v-10... wie and I debated that. Kinda wish now I would have... Sic ride sirrrr...

 

[Canadian Expy]

Sweet , nice idea for the future, but still would like a Diesel

 

[panda24619]

put a 7.3 in there canadian! that would be beastly!

 

[SourMashII]

A cummins would fit.. Mr Canadian, A Cummins would fit.... Don't get me started on my loathing of a PSD... here.

 

[bulldog77]

A 4bt is goin to be the plan if the 5.4 ever gives out. Hard to beat the simplicity of a Cummins. And I'm sure fummins online or destroked can come up with just about anything needed.

Very nice! Looks like a lot of hard work went into it.

Any videos or photo pages of it?
