triton v-10

[joukaishou813924]

anyone used a triton v-10 before, found one at a junkyard and was wondering how it would be to use.

bumps

anyone have the triton v-10 in there work truck or anything at all?

Well, don't know much about 'em myself, but they seem to have a solid rep. And as far as putting it in a rat rod, that would be a hoot! If you can get the trans and all the fixin's with it, why not go for it? Go for the whole drivetrain.

thinking about it, found one in a junk yard for $633+ about 300 for the trans

but is it gonna be hard to do a short exhaust, like just headers style, or will i have to run a full exhaust do u think?

I'm all for it, but it seems like alot of work. Taking into consideration the computer/electronics side , exhaust issues, etc.

Well now, let's see....big motor, lots of complicated unknown gadgetry....sounds perfect! Be the pioneer of Tritons and teach us all how it's done. Five pipes out each side would be something to behold!

One thing is the balance shaft under one valve cover makes them kind of lopsided ugly

 

[joukaishou813924]

still gonna try for it, i think it should be pretty kool, thinking an auto 4-5 speed behind it and just keeping the lincoln pretty much stock looking, stock ground height, same cab size and all, just remove the hood and front fenders to fit the v-10, and possibly down the road thinking bout maybe trying to turbo the v10 for a little more fun.

Easiest would probably be to pull EVERYTHING and the transmission too. Might even want the dash. How much are the electronics integrated?

electronics, computers, sensors, pollution controls, EFI.... more work than i would want. Plus side, IF you get it all togeather you can buy a Hypertech programmer for it and gain crazy power.

A customer of mine has 3 tow trucks all with the V-10s. Last year he had to do overhauls on 2 out of 3 because the block rotted out around the spark plugs. The blocks were stripped, then drilled, then had thread inserts installed. Now he only owns 1 out of the 3, the other two were replaced with Dodges with Hemis.

do it!! but do it a carb conversion. run one bank on one carb and the other on the second..... haha! figure it out amd keep us posted.

 

[joukaishou813924]

hmm thought about that and thought it nay be too hard, it may be easier i think to just figure out the wiring

 

[Willowbilly3]

If it has a crank sensor, or a cam sensor, and it must, you could probably figure out a distributorless ignition got it so you could carb it. I am betting this has all been done to rewire it and use a much simpler system and keep it efi.
