V10 Diesel

[BJ On Roids]

I was told there was a vehicle with a V10 in it. I know about the Ford F250 with the 7.3L V8, and want one bad, but I was arguing with my boss saying no V10 vehicle exists. I have never heard of one, ford, dodge, etc, but she insists that such a beast exists.

Who is right?

W12 is the gas motor and they have a V10 Diesel as well.

"But all that stuff is largely peripheral to the appeal of the most powerful passenger-car turbo diesel on the world market. This is a stunningly impressive engine, a 90-degree V10 version of the 2.4-litre five-cylinder TDI offered further down the Touareg price range. That being so, the cylinders in both banks have the same bore and stroke, although doubling the five-cylinder's capacity of 2460cc seems to work out at 4921cc for the V10. Searching the test car for the missing cubic centimetre revealed no clues.

In fact, the two banks of the balancer-shaft V10 are constructed almost as separate engines on the same crankshaft. Each has its own turbocharger, intercooler, ECU, air filter, exhaust gas recirculation system and so on. The air intake and exhaust systems are independent, but both banks, of course, are ultimately under joint control, and there's absolutely nothing in the way of driving the car to draw attention to this unusual arrangement in the powertrain."

Nice but nothing offered in a big American truck like a Dodge, or a F250/350, or a Chev, or whatever else? Cause if so then im right.

V10 gas=yes

thanks guys!

Hey anybody know what a 7.3L powerstroke motor and box goes for. I wanna get an early ford and upgrade it. The new ones are $50k plus here second hand.

[BJ On Roids]

its sort of a pipe dream and super long term, but i could get an odler F-truck w d/70 (2WD) and just bung in the big motor and go?!?!? or is it an effort and i may be better off going gas. :confused:

With the long distances between towns down under, you'd be better off towing diesel mate. I don't know where in Straylia you are, but if I was heading west, I'd rather have the diesel.

You can't just drop it in and go. The Powerstroke is a drive by wire meaning everything including throttle control is done via computer. I've seen people swap them into older Fords though.

I've seen em on ebay for around 5k with computer and all. Slush box's for 2,500 or so. Always thought it would be a kick ass swap into a '79 F-350 crew cab.

7.5K US :eek:

might get something a little smaller, and drop that in. Still thats what I was thinking itd be cool to have the new motor in the older vehicle.

Not to mention the significantly longer range you'll get from a diesel. Speaking of which, anyone swap a 3L out lately that they want to throw my direction? :D :D
