O, I should have mentioned that means 12-12.5mpg.

I think you're being real generous there and another thing is the V-10 don't run worth a crap unless you run premium. They do have good power though. :c:

I was talking empty...

Still think you're being generous. :c:

You do realize that we're talking about the Triton V10, right?

As far as I know the Triton V10 is the only V10 Ford makes, of course all of the ones I've drove were Cab and chassis Dually's with aluminum body's on them, not pickups. :c:

I'd think the V10 in the F150 would scoot pretty good. Who cares about mileage, obviously if the guy is asking about shoe-horning a V10 into a 1/2 ton... he probably doesn't care.

As for the trans bolting up, not sure on that one, but I can't imagine finding a manual to bolt up to it would be very hard. You'd be farther ahead finding something that didn't need an adapter plate, that's for sure. I think destroked sells adapters for about $700-$900 for most engine/trans combos. I'd imagine there are plenty of work trucks out there that had the V10 and a manual behind it though. That sure would be cool. Though you'd probably be miles ahead just getting another 302 to stuff in there. Either way, your call and let us know how you make out! :c:

Ok, I've yet to find a Triton V10 that I was impressed with in the power department... I still haven't played with the dodge V10.

The ones I drove would git pretty good with a load on as far as leaving a red light, I've never drove a Dodge v10 either :c:

The Dodge V10's I rode in were turds. Though I've never been overly impressed with the Ford V10 either.

Well there was this one V10 Dodge I rode in that scooted pretty good, but it was 8.3 L and it was inside of an SRT 10 viper. Yeah, that one seemed to have decent power.
