Pirate has talked on and off about putting a Ford V10 in a Panther or Thunderbird. Other than that, I've personally only heard about it in magazines, and then only in Mustangs (not that that's that different).
Personally, my logic as of late is that if a guy I know of from another forum can get 2hp/ci out of a 347ci Windsor, NA, I have no need for a fancier type of motor. :p2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

just fyi: hood will not clear the v10 intake... other than that... cut the hole in the hood and haul ass!

That is sweet! If you weren't having hood clearance issues, I'd say slap a S/C on there, to get the Sound that Pirate really likes (lambo sound). There's a video on youtube with an S/C V10 and it sounds beautiful

Scott says you can use aero engine mounts, as I am pretty sure they mount in the same way as a 4.6. Don't quote me on that though. I look forward to the project!Originally posted by wingfootwagon View Post1983 Grand Marquis 2Dr Sedan "Mercules"

Your main issue, as you may have figured, will probably be length. Routing exhaust could also be a challenge. A small block ford is 29 inches long, and a 4.6 is 36 inches. I can't find the exact number, but you're probably talking an engine 10 or more inches longer than stock if you go V10.

Pirate has also said somewhere that they are NOT that long. Like as long as a 302 IIRC...Originally posted by johnunit View Post1983 Grand Marquis 2Dr Sedan "Mercules"
