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.

[@Nodarperformance]

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.

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
