Yes mr regular that would be awesome to see a video on this
@@thatguy5915 won't happen for many reasons. One being the border is shut down from entering or leaving our two countries prevents this. Also it's not a regular car. He doesn't seems to do much reviews on highly modified cars. Lastly I biffed the car on a cement barrier and the shell is destroyed. The motor will live in in another chassis though
"How do you know it's the world's first?"
"I'm the first one dumb enough to do it"
We're not the best but we might be the first.
@@Nodarperformance I was joking I really admire it, ever since the v10 test mule I've been waiting for someone to try it 👍
@@Nodarperformance It's a really cool build. Why not the 3 valve?
One of the coolest builds I've seen
I think I've rewound this about 30 times already. Totally legit working man's hotrod. Forgot how good the early foxbodies looked, especially the Capri! Way to take what you've got and make it as awesome as you can.
Well I just over a week it will be going in for Dyno tuning. I'll post another video of it getting tuned and hopefully some decent hp numbers. I am hoping for anything above 250whp and 350 torques
@@Nodarperformance '350 torques' - Said Jeremy Clarkson 😂😂
Am satisfied finally someone posted the real sound of an American v10
The viper v10 could never hope to sound that good😂
This is very similar to pre 2008 Lamborghini gallardos and the Audi V10
Is it a small block or big block with two extra cylinders or did he deadass viper swap it?
@@rainbowrailroadcrossing7798 it’s a Ford triton series 6.8l v10 out of a f-150
@@jakeryan152 it’s out of a 250 not a 150
This is the true spirit of hot rodding. None of this cookie cutter megabuck trailer queen nonsense. Love it.
Yeah I also have gotten bored of the we just bought a lot of expensive parts and just bolted them on builds. It's like david freiburger said. "Don't get it right. Just get it running and then deal with all the small things.
I've always wondered what a ford v10 would sound like when tuned in a street car. This video is my answer. Great job guys on this! I love that 80-90s style with a touch of modern mods.
Yeah it was great but sadly I totaled the car. Drivetrain is fine so I am thinking of using a thunderbird as the new shell
Nodarperformance glad your okay, and that the 6.8 gets to live on :)
@@Nodarperformance bound to happen tbh with such a beefy engine and no TC
They tested a 5.8 version in the 99-04 Stang. They would've called it the Boss 351
When you have no regard for cost effectiveness but want all the torque and a totally badass unique car, you truck v10 swap a foxbody. This is the kind of build i would beeline past aventadors, gt3s, and turbo s550s to come check out
Absolutely. Oh, you got LS power? Yeah don't bother... you can close the hood. *walks away*
Sounds like a viper with headers. Awesome!
And makes more power then a first gen viper
No it doesn't, I have a Viper gen 3...
MidShipCivic ok and? He said 1st gen not 3rd
Sutliff01 probably a kid making shit up
It does
fart before I get in lol 1:30 ish mark.
Man im lovin those louvers...they look great on these cars as well as Saabs
yes and once Brendan finds a clean 900 shell he will most likely install the mint oem louvers he has upstairs on a 900
Some Ford engineers made a 5.8 V10 to put in a new edge as an outside of work project. Basically made of 1 off castings. Basically a 4.6 4 valve with 2 extra cylinders. And it sounds amazing lol
5.4 with extra cylinders
@@nate40365.4 with extra cylinders is a 6.8 v10 which already exists
@@blokay_garageThey sound a little similar too
mostly stock build you say....
I have an ‘89 Ford LTD Station wagon and I also recently bought a 2000 Excursion with the 6.8.
Been really intrigued by the V10 and looking at potential performance options, and then started pipe dreaming about swapping the small block wagon to a V10.
Got to looking and this is the best video I’ve found so far that had an engine swap.
Engine sounds amazing and the whole concept of swapping in Ford-built V10 is just so badass.
Yeah its not the best engine but its pretty cool
I work at the Ford plant and I installed these motors into the heavy duty trucks when they introduced them.
Nice. Wish ford would have kept them.
That is so much more awesome than the 6.8 lump in the F-450 I drive at work. Lol
Didn't even realize you were from BC at first, something about the way you two speak just sounded too familiar not to be here. Lol
That sounds incredible!
This car looks like a mix of what I'd expect from "The Wraith" and "Mad Max" movies. A true anti-hero car...fucking legend!
Totally having HS flashbacks here 😂. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.
Ok now this is Sweet! Wow freaking awesome I have a V10 in my truck but dude that is crazy fast!
It was pretty fast. Wish I didn't decide to drift a corner and ride up over a barricade
My first car was a 86 5.0 mustang GT my sophomore year in 1994. I miss that car.
Love this car, sounds awesome
Reminds me of the interceptor in mad max
Ive wanted to see something like this for a long time thankyou sir
3:40 starts actual driving
I would really like a rev and fly by video of this car. It's really cool!
First v10 that actually sounds like a muscle car dude!! Badass!!!
That beats by Acura head unit though!!!
Hey I see BC plates there, i'm in BC too. I have a 3 valve V10 I want to swap into my old truck. I didn't think there was any aftermarket way to run the ignition... so this is all very interesting.
Lots of options for ignition control. I went megasquirt ms3x running wasted spark. If I could go it again I would use the mspro as it have ten output for ignition and injection. So a little easier
I like the urs4 in the back. Definitely understand the 5cyl
Actually it's a URS6! Good eye
Idk what it is but I have always loved V10’s especially the way they sound.
First car I bought in highschool was an old 82 GT. Huge mistake selling it to my bro miss that car all the time.
Dear lord that first hard pull sounded so good I couldn't NOT smile. Shit I wish I had these skills, resources, and time!
i love the no f's given filming style lol
people are too picky anymore
awesome video by the way. have always questioned this since dad drove an Econoline for the longest time.
also being a foxbody owner im digging the goofy looks!
Kudos for wearing the Ichiban Moto gear. I love that channel.
Yeah I really enjoy his videos
love it man, good job! i almost went MS on my #v10bumpside, but decided to stick with stock ECM for now.....may have to change that up down the road with boost. glad to see another v10 swap on YT!
glad someone else is having fun with the v10. wish it had more of a following as its a pretty decent motor
Hope y’all start a trend!
@@markbuster7140 I doubt it. The motor.is now discontinued as the new 7.3l push rod will replace this and the V10 will be forgotten like the Dodge truck v10. The non viper V10 they made
beautiful car
Imagine this in a Crown Vic or panther platform. That would be MENTAL 🔥🔥
I had a 79 mustang Cobra. Great little cars. I always liked to get people to try to honk the horn.
This is a Frankenstein's monster I can get behind. Mercury body, Ford V10, Prelude seats, Acura radio. What's not to love?
Looks like a mini Mad Max interceptor
Wasn't intentional but it did kinda turn out like that
@@Nodarperformance Nothing wrong with that lol. I myself drive a mod motor in one of the last V8 Interceptors. But I don't think its quite as fast as yours
@@thesixgunfighter288 it's probably faster now as I biffed it over a k rail and tweaked the frame
I dig it! Ford in a Ford, unique and ITB 👌🏻🔥👏🏻👍🏻
I need to get up with about how you did your wiring harness and how you did your intake
Love the Fox cars, hated the seats. Good choice 🤘
Man, just listening to this thing go left me breathless! I've always daydreamed about v10 Fox.
On a scale of 1 - 10, how much would you recommend anyone attempts this swap?
Depends what your after. If it's ease of install and peak horsepower then it's a 3 out of 10. I like it because it's fun and a v10
Yeah his fart left me breathless too bro 😎
How’d you stuff that in there? I love the V10
That alfa and URS6 in the background 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah they are pretty decent
Amazing just amazing!!!!
So damn cool. Looking at putting a v10 in my foxbody lincoln soon
This is fucking awesome. Cool choice for such an oddball build too.RIP. SC will be a great host for the drivetrain.
I actually ditched the supercoupe in favour of a 3rd gen camaro and have come along a fair way on the project.
My god it really does sound like the batmobile in the new batman
Ill have to watch it
How did you do your stand alone ecu/ecm? Ihave one from a F53 chassis & have the computer but need a pinout to the harness.
I cut open the harnessm reused the factory connectors and used new wire from diyautotune. It has labels printed on the wires and then just ran the wires where they needed to go on the ECU and relay board. It was pretty simple. Seemed easier and have more potential for power then the factory ecu
what ecm are you using
Holy shit something good to come out of the province BC!
Honestly BC has a pretty legit car scene. It's the red plate province that has the lamest builds.
Nodarperformance I hope you’re referring to Alberta... all we have here are slow manhood compensation trucks and ricers
@@Nodarperformance It's not the people or the car scene in B.C. It's the province itself, hippy libtard over taxed drug addict filled province.
@@mattcat234 don't blame the whole province for just the lower mainland/ Vancouver. The rest of the province is pretty decent
Beast Mode
do you have the stock cam in it cause if there is an aftermarket one i can get i haven't been able to find any
It was a stock cam but I look at apocalypse motors. I paid for them to make me a cam and by the looks of it they did a small run so you might be able to get one a bit quicker than it took me
I have questions:
Is it a stock 6.8?
Did you make your own exhaust or buy a system that doesn't lead to a y-pipe?
What was your ECU set up like? (also any electronic info would be cool making the engine work with the chassis)
debating doing this swap if my coyote ever blows
Modified the oem cast manifolds. Ecu is a mega squirt ms3x. Running wasted spark for the ignition. The motor has a slight bump in compression but is most stock internally.
@@Nodarperformance is it a NPI, PI, or 3valve motor?
@@matthewboggs4639 pi 2v
The front portion of the car, to the rear of the doors is a Mustang. From there back it is Capri with fender flares, rear quarter window trim, tail lights etc. The Capri never had a grille or front side marker lights as shown
Its only a mustang front bumper. It is a capri
Badass build need more vids or pics
Cant. I crashed the car
@@Nodarperformance noooooooooooooooooooooooo
@@kevinsleppek6058 th-cam.com/video/-tKn8EC5Cgo/w-d-xo.html
Should be getting the new chassis to swap the engine in. It will be a lot more mad Max then this car
What did you do about motor mounts? Did you do custom home made solid jobs or did you use stock style and flip them over or what?
Used a upr modular k member and used stock 96+ motor mounts
Sweet! Can you imagine what this would be twin turbo'd oreven with a single turbo?...💪look out! Even only on 7-10lbs it would be a torque monster.
I've seen a video of a guy with a turbo 3v and it pulls the front wheels off the ground.
How hard was it to squeeze this into a small chassis? I really want to do something like this to a 58 volvo pv444
It was a pain to get it in. This chassis does have fairly narrow shock towers. Really put a hamper any form of an decent header.
What transmission are you using? It sound so good I’m putting one of these in my galaxie.
At the time of the video it was a tko600 but originally it was a t45 from a 96+ mustang gt with the 4.6l
@@Nodarperformance thank you! Your build here really inspired me. I’m picking my v10 up tomorrow.
Shit...now I have the urge to get a foxbody shell and pull a 6.8L V10 out of an Econoline and make my own Ford Viper 😀
I know this is an older video, but I have a 1979 Mercury Zephyr and I've always thought of doing the 6.8 swap. Was it just a modular K member to get it installed? What did you need to do to get a manual hooked up to it?
I used a modular swap k member. You will have to go manual brakes or hydroboost brake booster for it to fit. I used a t45 tranny and is pretty simple if you keep it all cable driven
@@Nodarperformance ok, so I guess I'm wondering how different it is from a 4.6/5.4 swap. I've been collecting stuff to do a mod swap for a while now but wasn't sure what all was different with a V10 regarding fitment and wiring
@@asteffenson88 its pretty much a 5.4l just longer.
@@Nodarperformance thanks for the info. I think I'll go that route. I appreciate it
Is this the 3 valve or 2 valve version? How much power is she making? I have so many questions 🤯
It is 2v pi. There is a video on our channel of it on the dyno. It made 340ish horse power and 440 torques. I have forgotten the exact numbers.
Always fart before you get in.
Omg I want to do it now
I want one of these in my 92' vette
How did you do the harness for the v10???
Used a megasquirt. Paired fuel injector firing and did wasted spark. It is fairly easy. Just time with a label maker and wiring
Nice!
This is what i wanma do to my 88 fox
Question what transmission are you using?
I wanna keep the manual in mine
I used a t45 out of a 96 mustang with the 4.6l
@@Nodarperformance awesome thanks
What’s the highest RPM reached in this video? Sounds like 4800-5300? I’m trying to increase the RPM capability of my swap project, to get an Audi-like V10 tone. Needs to hit ~6500, but even with beehive springs I’m floating valves at 6200 or so.
With stock cams there is nothing past 4500rpm. Not really valve train limited on this engine as its just a 5.4l 2v.
@@Nodarperformance Mine is a 3V. I am looking into a set of custom cams, need to figure out best specs (copy 5.4 profile?). I have a set of aluminum forged rods & pistons already in it, plus a Paxton from an F-body in place of AC for 10-15psi on the top end. All this still far cheaper (and more potent) than an R8/S8 swap!
@@Krossf1re did you ever figure it out? If so, maybe share some info? I just got a 3v myself
Ahhh yeah the fox body capri. Basically a rebadged mustang. But this one is glorious
What’s the RPM limit?
Also while the width and height are identical to the 5.4 V8 (not including intakes) the 6.8 is around 4” longer than the 5.4 having the extra length between the motor mounts and bellhousing meaning the transmission would be moved backwards around the same 4”. Just curious on how you handle this problem.
Almost went this route but ended up with a Coyote instead
It's interesting no almost went coyote swap before this engine. Rpm limit is kinda unknown but max power in stock form is at around 4200 rpm. So it's got lot of room to improve. For fitting the engine I got a grinder and a welder
I thought the extra length was infront of the motor mounts
HOLY SH*T!!!!!!! 😍😍😍
where did you get the ecu and harness from?
It's an OEM harness in the sense I used OEM connectors from original harness then made my own with diyautotune wiring.
It's also. Running on a megasquirt ms3x
That tickling sound is the gasoline system correct?
At this time it was running of batch fuel injection. So it was firing all the injectors at once. So yes the loud ticking or clacking is from the fuel system
Did it fit between the shock towers?
Yes but I had to swap to a hydroboost brake master cylinder from a 96 GT mustang. Next time i might try a datsun b210 brake booster as it is super narrow
Working man’s super car
Capri was so much more sexy then the mustang.
I plan on doing this to my 08 mustang
i want to know can be possible make this swap on sn95 mustang and fox body using t5 borgwarner transmision
i want it to have std box
you need to modify something else?
Thanks
I don't see any point on using a limp t5 when any modular 5speed bolts on and leagues better. Just get any Modular standard transmission. Like t45 and bolt it on like it was a mustang
Best bet on a budget is an MT-82 with an MGW shifter relocation kit. Make sure to upgrade to brass shift fork guides. MT-82 is infamous for sloppy shifting so they are stupid cheap, only takes a couple of upgrades to fix and their gear sets are freckin beefy. I'm running one in my manual swapped Lincoln Navigator.
This much torque would turn a T5 into an actual grenade.
did you sell/give the shell to someone who could do something with it?
No, this was the cars last dance. I doubt anyone else would have got it back in the road after many butchered repairs previous owners had done.
Que caja de cambios usaste con ese motor??
96+ mustang. Then later I used a tko600 because I found one cheap.
I'm in the process of stuffing a v10 in my 67 falcon would I be able to get that megasquirt profile off of you boss. It would save me a lot of set up time!
Not sure what I have will help. I used a lot of parts off different cars
@Nodarperformance fair enough. Mind telling me about your set up? The research I've been doing says the crank trigger I one of a biggest issues using megasquirt on an even fire v10.
Didnt know we had to watch this dude clean a car just to sit down
Mustang front fenders and hood on that Mercury, no flares up front, does not look bad...
It had flares on the front and the front fenders were the OEM Capri fenders
@@Nodarperformance yeah, I see it now, the aftermarket flare on the fender lip kind of disguises it, the flat black paint hides the body line at the angle it is shot at.
How hard was it to cram the engine in?
Fairly easy. You could follow the same steps as swapping in a 5.4l DOHC into a fox. Just a little less room in front of the motor but enough room for a normal e fan
A car more perfect than a crown vic. Just missing the t-tops
I need to pick your brain on a few things, are in any of the Facebook groups?? Have you found any limitations of the split pin crank design? Not sure what RPM your spinning it to e.t.c
Not really in any groups. I dont know if there is a per say limit to the split pin crank. Many high performance v10 use a split pin crank without issue. Most cases of crank braking is from forced induction and using a shitty hand held tuner. I wonder how many fail due to bad tuning and not it being weak. I was going to 5200rpm and that was mainly because the cams not making anymore power past 4700rpm.
I'm running stock y pipe hollowed cat and 3x3 magnaflo to a 4 inch out in stock location it really does sound good no big but its a slug lol
Man it sounds like a tamed version of the Viper’s V10.
The exhaust I built for the was pretty close silent. All you are hearing in the video is induction sound
That thing is fucking awesome man
It certainly was th-cam.com/video/hgP7DMav4XI/w-d-xo.html
I know this car is dead and gone, but rear end was in that? did it still have the 7.5 inch with 2.73:1 gears or did you put an 8.8 in it with the more normal 3.08:1 gears? When I had the 7.5 my 351W T5 in 1st gear would idle at like 12 mph... when I put the 8.8 in it was actually drivable and hella fast. She was ugly as sin, but there wasn't a car out there I was afraid of. 0-100 Nobody took that car, which was great for screwing around on the street.
It had the 8.8 with 308 gears. With the tko tranny and the 86 final drive
nice acura head unit
Ngl it sounds like an old school v8 like those you'd find in 60's gm cars. Makes me wanna v10 swap something lmao
Its a lot of fun
I've never heard the Ford V-10 sounds like this, usually it has a distinctive howl & scream at high rpms. Maybe there is a misfire or the timing is a bit off?
Its the itbs.
@@Nodarperformance aaaaahhhh gotcha! I was gonna say. I worked at a Ford dealership 20 years ago & drove many V-10 s, never heard one like yours
@@BrownBomber92181 yeah this one is defiantly unique
Dude! Itb 6.8 is the most badass homebrew I've heard to date. What itbs are you running ?
They are four sets of triumph inline three motorcycle throttled bodies. I cut one throttle body off two of the sets.
Sadly I went little too hard on the throttle pedal and wrote the car off. The next chassis that gets the engine won't likely have the itbs. Maybe just two big throttle bodies.
@@Nodarperformance sorry to hear that, I saw the video of it getting towed onto the flat bed earlier today. That is one mad Max v10 lmao. Hope to see the next build up and running soon eh
@@DamienDemiGod hoping the new chassis has wider shock towers so I might be able to run something aside from log manifolds
@@Nodarperformance Is there a video or are there images out there of this particular intake arrangement? Asking for a friend.
Hahaa :D this is awesome!
Is that a 5 or 6 speed manual transmission?
It is a tko600 5spd
