Gentlemen, I am an Engineer with 40 years of racing and building engines. What you have accomplished with this build is on par with the Jon Kaase and Ed Pink’s of the racing world. I do not have the words. You will have a great future in whatever life endeavors you choose to peruse. All the best!!
Hell yeah it is! Now uh....when you gonna have that therre Hooo charger and manifold added atop this magnificent beast? Yknow, it runs, so the law is add boost until the rods see daylight, then rebuild it! Seriously, congrats all around, thats a monumental amount of engineering and self taught just stubborn "fuck it, ill do it myself!" Energy. That's the right kind of energy, if you ask me!
@@doktorzasinuseone issue with superchargers, ignoring heat soak and increased IAT, is the extra load put on the front main bearings. The sc pulley is torquing on the main pulley, and that puts extra load on the front main. This is especially true of a factory motor with aftermarket supercharger kit installed, but even when engines are designed from the factory for this extra load they still often have issues long term, especially when modified for more power than stock. I’m an engineer who’s worked for Ford and experience with amateur road racing and building engines for over 20 years. There are a lot of reasons why road race cars prefer N/A, especially amateur with less budget than factory team, but even factory teams stay away from superchargers. They’re good for drag racing or street, but less than ideal compared to other options for road race.
🤣🤣wtf that's so weird and doesn't even make sense. For obvious reasons it will always mean much more coming from the professional in that field. I think you heard that people should respect the custodian as much as the CEO and got things a little mixed up... They literally engineered something dude The professional engineer with 40 years of experience complimenting them means a lot. Some random custodian complimenting them on something he doesn't even understand doesn't mean as much that's just common sense
The v10 truck engine is 2v and larger displacement. This motor did exist actually, ford did the same thing, used 2 4.6l 4v engines and heads and made a v10 version. They put it in a cobra r to test it.
@@fiddynutz683v heads do real good for sohc heads but they dont match 4v heads ported vs ported. Yea out the box they aren't far off the older 4v heads but if they're both worked max effort with a proper setup the 4v heads are going to make more power especially once boost comes into the equation.
This is unreal, holy smokes! I cannot believe I'm watching it finally run today. This build might push the Ford V10 into a new place in the aftermarket!
Just lying around with a cold and stumbled upon this video. I’ve wanted to do a boss v10/gt500 67-70 but it’s hard to find aftermarket for these things. You guys could possibly become big time rich…very quickly. I’d buy them 4v heads for sure!
@@JohnDoe-yj5ngnot exactly. if aftermarket’s see this and feel like a viable endeavor then all they have to make are cams, 4v style heads, timing equipment. all the bits other than the block unless they’d choose to do that as well.

They have the capability to cnc machine these components, correct any issues from welding 4 heads together and also improve the geometry of the ports and chambers. Kind of like making FR500 heads for the V10. Congratulations on your success after so much hard work! I can’t wait to see it powering your vehicle and hopefully a Dyno video
Getting John Kaase on board would be the best bet he loves quirky ford shenanigans, hence why he won engine masters with a Ford 400 and 5.4 mod motor and built 429 boss heads for the 385 series big block.

I have a v12 in my 750il makes little power now but this project makes me want to tear into mine and try and see how much power can be squeezed out of it
I think the viper heads can be modified to fit the dodge 8.0 truck v10. I used to be into the dodge v10s. I had to drive a ford v10 for work and it stunk compared to the dodge, mileage was better on the ford though! 10mpg vs 8-9
Stumbled upon your videos back when you were still cutting and welding the heads, and honestly was a tad dubious at the beginning. But I soon realised you three guys are extremely clever and determined, and now wow! Listen to that baby, absolutely unreal! Been checking my phone constantly for this upload, and it was worth it. Well done, lads!
As many are saying you both have achieved something truly unique and in the automotive perspective, incredible. I think I mentioned it before in previous comments that I too always wondered about the triton V10 work engines and if they could be used in a performance set up. I always sought to hop up a 3 valve but this 4 valve idea is ingenious. Some true old school get' er done hot rodding attitude behind this project and can't wait to see what's next. And maybe in the future you guys will develop a 4 valve upgrade kit for triton V10s👀
My eyes literally watered up when that thing fired the look on your faces that giddy feeling, anybody who’s ever messed with motors knows all too well, the heartbreak the agony of defeat, but on the flipside the second you hear something fire, you realize why you do what you do. Horsepower is a very distinct sound, expensive, whether it be money time or both, you most likely always lose your ass… but that feeling of victory, is what makes you do it all over again. not been this inspired or felt chills the way this video has made me feel in a long time. Thank you… nicely done
This is astonishing when 3 younger guys have done in their garage. Stuff like this takes a full company of dedicated engineers to figure out and big big money. This reminds me of a modern day version of the movie October SKy
Kudos to you guys...that's a monumental achievement and sounds great. I'm a Pontiac guy at heart but I've always said a built V10 Ford would be badass and carol Shelby thought so too w the cobra prototype they had built
I'm also a Pontiac enthusiast and dedicated Anti-Ford, that being said I love V-10s with displacement and these men have accomplished something epic. Definitely inspiring to see them endure the variety of hardships and come away with a Victory ✌️
@@SGTMARSHALL1Pontiac died a long time ago I understand why you would hate 😂 Ford still being here and all. V10’s are very nice I had a v10 F250 sold it in 2019 with 450k miles it needed a performance version
@@CoyoteFTW my hate for Ford comes from purchasing 2 of them and then watching them disintegrate into worthless piles of shit over a very short time. I am glad that you got some good mileage out of yours
The problem with V10 ford is that the crankshaft is a weakness. That is why no one really does anything for the V10. I would say with the dual overhead cam heads it's possible that it's close to it's limit on power. With that being said...it sounds truly beautiful. Great job...
I think it was a small team at SVT that made the 4.6 based V10; which ironically came out to be a 5.4 I believe. That’s a totally different approach though. They had to cast a block, and have a custom crankshaft made as well as the heads. Ford missed the mark by dropping that project 😢
@@MrLuvtheUSA yes. It was a 5.8L. The displacement recalled the old 351 Cleveland and Windsor. They also used a common pin crankshaft for strength and high rpm. That's one thing I worry about on this build is the strength of the split pin crank at high rpm or lots of boost.
I have done some hot rodding of the ford v10. Nothing like this though. With my couple of built motors, I found the split pin crank is good for about 500HP and 5500 RPM MAX. I didn't do any cam changes, and it takes some work to get them to 500HP.
@@MrLuvtheUSANo, Ford did not miss the mark. Those of us old enough to remember the MM&FF, et al articles about that project know the inherent problems with that engine as well as any V10 based on the mod motor family of this era was NVH and the split-pin crankshaft. There are very good reasons why the 4.6 & 5.4 got more aftermarket support while the 6.8L was left to truck/RV/generator duty, it flexes a lot more than the V8 blocks where high-rpm and/or high cylinder pressures make it liability compared to investing the time, money, effort into the V8's.
This is by far the most exciting RUclips build I’ve ever watched. I’ve always wanted to see someone do something with these engines. The amount of work you guys have and continue to put in is crazy keep it going this is just incredible. Cant wait to see the next episode!
What an incredible feat of engineering. Everyone here seems to agree you definitely deserve some serious recognition for what you have accomplished. Congratulations to ya.
awesome, this is the type of RUclipsr I like. thinking outside the box, interesting builds, and no Vlogs on their 5th GTR/EVO whatever build or give away.
Gentlemen, I'm a retired Astronaut of 40 years building and racing rockets. What you've accomplished with this build is on par with the Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin of the space world. I do not have the words. You will have a great future in whatever life endeavors you choose to peruse. All the best!!
Glad someone else is doing what I wish I could do to the ford V10. Good job guys. I was looking for aftermarket V10 heads for awhile and I figured before I saw your video that someone would just have to fabricate their own. I’d love to have a fully built 4 valve head Supercharged or turbo V10 with a low lift cam in a Excursion setup for towing and off-road.
It's people like you coupled with unique builds like this that could give inspiration to what other people could accomplish. You give perseverance and patience a whole new meaning. And for that, I salute you. 🎉
Needs a performance Y-pipe(increasing diameter) or an X-pipe to really have THAT sound that you're looking for. For the Y, do dual 2.5 into single 3.5, or if this ends up over 650bhp, do dual 3 into single 4. Not to mention that you'll also need equal-length headers. But man, what a long way to have come to finally get the first start!
Can’t even imagine how many sleepless nights you both had while laying awake and problem solving in your wrestles minds??? Well done indeed gentlemen! Huge congrats. This reminds me of the crazy stuff the old school NHRA guys were doing. Welding engines together, quad motors on a top fuel car, etc.
I just found you guys and binged every vid. I am so impressed with your abilities and sense of adventure! Easily one of the funnest channels I’ve ever found on RUclips. I only had to wait a week to see this beast fire up, what a tremendous achievement, thank you!!
Great achievement guys! Whilst it might not be a problem for you, on a turbocharged V8 engine which I ran wasted spark, I had a whole load of issues with backfiring under load. The issue in the end was due to intake valve opening slightly before TDC, some fuel and air would leak in when the wasted spark fired, casing back firing. It may not be a problem for you if you are running NA. For me, the only way I could solve it was going to sequential ignition and it totally transformed the running of the engine.
I binged watched your whole series up until this episode and all I can say is I'm very impressed. This is more than inspiring. This is the definition of a Gearhead. Blood, Sweat, Tears and Smiles. 💪🏾🍻
Man, I love this video. I’ve been watching you guys from its conception waiting for this day. I could never afford a motor like that to be built but I sure am proud for you guys. What a blessing how fun with it
To see you guys get that running it sounds so sick I have been a technician 30 years and wow they don’t make guys like you anymore good to see all your hard work come to life can’t wait to see what you do next
Sounds amazing! I've had 6.8 V10 aspirations after owning one, but I've really anxious to see this thing from you guys. Congratulations!! I'm stuck on waiting to see the future. Great job guys! Definitely saw that intake try to burst!
You gentlemen showed true passion and commitment to this project. You have demonstrated the ingenuity and perseverance, to bring forth, what few could do. Keep the faith and never lose the drive to make the impossible.
I’ve binged your videos over the last couple of days. Absolutely amazing and what you’ve achieved and very inspiring. I wish we even had the 2valve V10 here in the UK!
These men are the future of automotive engineering, and I am not talking working for Ford, GM or Stellantis where they would be stifled. These young men are entrepreneurs with intelligence, vision and passion as in Roger Penske, and they will achieve that level of success.
Awesome progress! Thanks for sharing the hurdles you guys have overcome. It’s not only interesting but it helps others know what to look for if they’re working on projects of their own. I’m pumped to see this thing in the car and can’t wait to hear it on the dyno!
Now just hold on a minute... Never seen your channel. Just popped up in recommendations you mean to tell me you guys built a 4v V10 that wasn't ever I'm production?!!! Oh I'm so hooked! Amazing job guys! There's so few people like you left. A+++ video and project!
I always dreamed of Ford building this engine. They did build a single 5.8L 4V V10 (4.6 4V cobra motor with two extra cylinders) back in the early 2000s. That was just a skunkworks project, but was never put in anything besides a development 99 Mustang that was used to develop the Cobra R 5.4 4V motor. It was called the Boss 351. They used the 4.6L as the base instead of the 6.8L V10 because of the shorter deck and non split-pin crank. This is incredible stuff. Congrats! It sounds incredible. I can’t wait to see it in a car and ripping. Definitely subbed. Glad I found y’all, even if it’s at the end of the build.
Wow, what a sound! Sounds so much better than any V10 I've ever heard. Been a carb and points mechanic most of my like. I could tune those1. I can't do what you guys do. Can't teach this old dog, any new tricks. Lol Awesome! Gonna have to hear it again in the Lincoln!
Excellent work. I was the young engineer in charge of all of the base engine development testing for the 6.8 in the early 90's and this is something we always talked about back then.
I really hope you guys can do great things in development for the V10 if you guys could get to a point where you could make new castings for 4V heads and parts. That would be amazing. I really want to put a V10 in my 69 F250 with turbos or even just NA cause I love the sound of them. That monster you guys have built sounds insane!
I just binge watched all you're videos, and guys, as an engineer who continually let down by the current generation; you guys give me hope and get me excited to get back into some of my projects. Awesome job, can't wait to see it dynoed and in the car. Can't wait to see what you guys do next!
Congratulations on the startup🥳 Confusion between the firing sequence and firing order is a very common mistake when you're new to standalon EFI😊 Great sound from that engine😁

As many are saying you both have achieved something truly unique and in the automotive perspective, incredible.
I think I mentioned it before in previous comments that I too always wondered about the triton V10 work engines and if they could be used in a performance set up. I always sought to hop up a 3 valve but this 4 valve idea is ingenious. Some true old school get' er done hot rodding attitude behind this project and can't wait to see what's next.
And maybe in the future you guys will develop a 4 valve upgrade kit for triton V10s👀
Great to hear you got in touch with Richard Holdner. I'm really excited to see how far you take this combo
My eyes literally watered up when that thing fired the look on your faces that giddy feeling, anybody who’s ever messed with motors knows all too well, the heartbreak the agony of defeat, but on the flipside the second you hear something fire, you realize why you do what you do. Horsepower is a very distinct sound, expensive, whether it be money time or both, you most likely always lose your ass… but that feeling of victory, is what makes you do it all over again. not been this inspired or felt chills the way this video has made me feel in a long time. Thank you… nicely done
It sounds amazing. I could hear the different note from the exhaust because of the 4 valve configuration. Great job everyone. Keep it up.
This is astonishing when 3 younger guys have done in their garage. Stuff like this takes a full company of dedicated engineers to figure out and big big money.
This reminds me of a modern day version of the movie October SKy
Awesome job guys and man that homemade 6.8L DOHC 40V Triton V10 sounds like a freakn beast.
it's not a 6.8 v10, it's a copy of the rare 5.8 liter v10 that ford made of two chopped 4.6 liter engines.
@TheRoadhammer379 True but this one however is based of the 6.8L SOHC 2V Triton V10.
Super late to this series but just binged most of the episodes and man this makes me want to do this too.
Kudos to you guys...that's a monumental achievement and sounds great. I'm a Pontiac guy at heart but I've always said a built V10 Ford would be badass and carol Shelby thought so too w the cobra prototype they had built
I'm also a Pontiac enthusiast and dedicated Anti-Ford, that being said I love V-10s with displacement and these men have accomplished something epic. Definitely inspiring to see them endure the variety of hardships and come away with a Victory ✌️
@@SGTMARSHALL1Pontiac died a long time ago I understand why you would hate 😂 Ford still being here and all. V10’s are very nice I had a v10 F250 sold it in 2019 with 450k miles it needed a performance version
@@CoyoteFTW my hate for Ford comes from purchasing 2 of them and then watching them disintegrate into worthless piles of shit over a very short time. I am glad that you got some good mileage out of yours
The cobra concept was a 5.8 v10 though. It was built for racing. The 6.8 is more for hauling.
The problem with V10 ford is that the crankshaft is a weakness. That is why no one really does anything for the V10. I would say with the dual overhead cam heads it's possible that it's close to it's limit on power. With that being said...it sounds truly beautiful.
Great job...
What you have accomplished is nothing short of amazing. This might be the best sounding v10 I have ever heard. Way to go guys brilliant work.
That first start sounded great. Ford did make a few experimental DOHC V10s based on the 4.6L. There's some videos floating around of them running.
I think it was a small team at SVT that made the 4.6 based V10; which ironically came out to be a 5.4 I believe. That’s a totally different approach though. They had to cast a block, and have a custom crankshaft made as well as the heads. Ford missed the mark by dropping that project 😢
@@MrLuvtheUSA yes. It was a 5.8L. The displacement recalled the old 351 Cleveland and Windsor. They also used a common pin crankshaft for strength and high rpm. That's one thing I worry about on this build is the strength of the split pin crank at high rpm or lots of boost.
I have done some hot rodding of the ford v10. Nothing like this though. With my couple of built motors, I found the split pin crank is good for about 500HP and 5500 RPM MAX. I didn't do any cam changes, and it takes some work to get them to 500HP.
@@dalewhitehead5378 that seems quite low. Have you broken a crankshaft?
@@MrLuvtheUSANo, Ford did not miss the mark. Those of us old enough to remember the MM&FF, et al articles about that project know the inherent problems with that engine as well as any V10 based on the mod motor family of this era was NVH and the split-pin crankshaft. There are very good reasons why the 4.6 & 5.4 got more aftermarket support while the 6.8L was left to truck/RV/generator duty, it flexes a lot more than the V8 blocks where high-rpm and/or high cylinder pressures make it liability compared to investing the time, money, effort into the V8's.
That 200rpm celebration locked me in. Subscribed!
This is by far the most exciting RUclips build I’ve ever watched. I’ve always wanted to see someone do something with these engines. The amount of work you guys have and continue to put in is crazy keep it going this is just incredible. Cant wait to see the next episode!
What an incredible feat of engineering. Everyone here seems to agree you definitely deserve some serious recognition for what you have accomplished. Congratulations to ya.
awesome, this is the type of RUclipsr I like. thinking outside the box, interesting builds, and no Vlogs on their 5th GTR/EVO whatever build or give away.
Gentlemen, I'm a retired Astronaut of 40 years building and racing rockets. What you've accomplished with this build is on par with the Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin of the space world. I do not have the words. You will have a great future in whatever life endeavors you choose to peruse. All the best!!
Huge salute to you guys for all the hard work and sticking with it.
Congrats both of you. Your hard efforts paying off!
This is wicked! Nice work! Great video too, showing all the struggles.
Thank you! And we are glad you enjoyed our struggle 😅. Huge fans of your content btw!
Glad someone else is doing what I wish I could do to the ford V10. Good job guys. I was looking for aftermarket V10 heads for awhile and I figured before I saw your video that someone would just have to fabricate their own.
I’d love to have a fully built 4 valve head Supercharged or turbo V10 with a low lift cam in a Excursion setup for towing and off-road.
You young men are a true inspiration . This video should be shown in all schools.
It's people like you coupled with unique builds like this that could give inspiration to what other people could accomplish. You give perseverance and patience a whole new meaning. And for that, I salute you. 🎉
Great job guys!! You’re restoring my faith in the youth of our country! That’s quite an undertaking for which you have succeeded!!
Needs a performance Y-pipe(increasing diameter) or an X-pipe to really have THAT sound that you're looking for. For the Y, do dual 2.5 into single 3.5, or if this ends up over 650bhp, do dual 3 into single 4. Not to mention that you'll also need equal-length headers. But man, what a long way to have come to finally get the first start!
As a self-proclaimed engineer I gotta say, this is good.
CONGRATS GUYS!! Crazy journey, keep pushing!
Can’t even imagine how many sleepless nights you both had while laying awake and problem solving in your wrestles minds???
Well done indeed gentlemen! Huge congrats.
This reminds me of the crazy stuff the old school NHRA guys were doing. Welding engines together, quad motors on a top fuel car, etc.
Let's go boys!! I'm so hyped to see the 40 Valve v10 running!! Good job I can't wait to see it moving a vehicle under its own power!!
Definitely subscribing. Thank you for doing this with the v10. I love my 2v. If I could do more to it I would, so seeing this gives me hope 😅
What an achievement, I still remember some of your first videos when this was just an idea!
Notice the Hurco CNC knee mill in the corner. Used to program and run those about twenty years ago. Loved the conversational programming of these.
I just found you guys and binged every vid. I am so impressed with your abilities and sense of adventure! Easily one of the funnest channels I’ve ever found on RUclips. I only had to wait a week to see this beast fire up, what a tremendous achievement, thank you!!
Great job Guys!! this is impressive!!
You guys gotta make this project go to SEMA next year, y'all have one entire year to make her PERFECT!
Amazing work fellas! Just needs equal length headers now
Man, that sounds rowdy AF!!! 😍😍😍
I hope you guys are building a sweet set of headers for it too?
Great achievement guys! Whilst it might not be a problem for you, on a turbocharged V8 engine which I ran wasted spark, I had a whole load of issues with backfiring under load.
The issue in the end was due to intake valve opening slightly before TDC, some fuel and air would leak in when the wasted spark fired, casing back firing.
It may not be a problem for you if you are running NA. For me, the only way I could solve it was going to sequential ignition and it totally transformed the running of the engine.
love to see the dyno numbers and see how they stack up to the current 7.3 Godzilla
I been working on power trains for over 47 years and i'm truly impressed!!
I binged watched your whole series up until this episode and all I can say is I'm very impressed. This is more than inspiring. This is the definition of a Gearhead. Blood, Sweat, Tears and Smiles. 💪🏾🍻
Man, I love this video. I’ve been watching you guys from its conception waiting for this day. I could never afford a motor like that to be built but I sure am proud for you guys. What a blessing how fun with it
I’m more of a gm/ls guy but that is awesome and sounds great. Good job.
To see you guys get that running it sounds so sick I have been a technician 30 years and wow they don’t make guys like you anymore good to see all your hard work come to life can’t wait to see what you do next
She got the balls to back er up 🤘
Great job guys!! That thing sounds like a beast!! Can't wait for you guys to be able to really lean on it and see what it can do.
I have no idea how I got here, but what a great coincidence. Great work
Sounds amazing! I've had 6.8 V10 aspirations after owning one, but I've really anxious to see this thing from you guys. Congratulations!!
I'm stuck on waiting to see the future.
Great job guys!
Definitely saw that intake try to burst!
I know nothing about this stuff, but that thing sounds sweet. Guys, you have mad skills.
Congrats, this is a huge accomplishment to build something like this and it actually runs. Sounds insane. Basically a bad ass v10 coyote haha love it
It’s closer to terminator architecture. A coyote variant would be scary
This is basically a triton and trinity half breed 4v v10.
You gentlemen showed true passion and commitment to this project. You have demonstrated the ingenuity and perseverance, to bring forth, what few could do. Keep the faith and never lose the drive to make the impossible.
I’ve binged your videos over the last couple of days. Absolutely amazing and what you’ve achieved and very inspiring. I wish we even had the 2valve V10 here in the UK!
Congratulations!
I found your channel today, and I binge-watched literally all your videos. This build is beyond incredible! Great job guys!
from an owner of two 4v Ford engines, this is amazing!! Congrats!!
This sounds fantastic. I hope all goes well for this build, and hopefully we can see this platform getting the attention it deserves.
Agreed
Well done guys!
First video of the day! Couldn't have been better, exciting stuff guys!! That definitely sounds better than the 2v btw!
These men are the future of automotive engineering, and I am not talking working for Ford, GM or Stellantis where they would be stifled. These young men are entrepreneurs with intelligence, vision and passion as in Roger Penske, and they will achieve that level of success.
Awesome progress! Thanks for sharing the hurdles you guys have overcome. It’s not only interesting but it helps others know what to look for if they’re working on projects of their own. I’m pumped to see this thing in the car and can’t wait to hear it on the dyno!
Now just hold on a minute... Never seen your channel. Just popped up in recommendations you mean to tell me you guys built a 4v V10 that wasn't ever I'm production?!!! Oh I'm so hooked! Amazing job guys! There's so few people like you left. A+++ video and project!
14:08 The sound of an even firing v10 can't be beaten
I always dreamed of Ford building this engine. They did build a single 5.8L 4V V10 (4.6 4V cobra motor with two extra cylinders) back in the early 2000s. That was just a skunkworks project, but was never put in anything besides a development 99 Mustang that was used to develop the Cobra R 5.4 4V motor. It was called the Boss 351. They used the 4.6L as the base instead of the 6.8L V10 because of the shorter deck and non split-pin crank.
This is incredible stuff. Congrats! It sounds incredible. I can’t wait to see it in a car and ripping. Definitely subbed. Glad I found y’all, even if it’s at the end of the build.
Wow, what a sound! Sounds so much better than any V10 I've ever heard. Been a carb and points mechanic most of my like. I could tune those1. I can't do what you guys do. Can't teach this old dog, any new tricks. Lol Awesome! Gonna have to hear it again in the Lincoln!
Excellent work. I was the young engineer in charge of all of the base engine development testing for the 6.8 in the early 90's and this is something we always talked about back then.
Congrats on the first start! Also, I noticed a weird bobble in the serpentine belt at 7:45, might be worth looking at if you haven't already. Cheers!
Good eye! That top pulley needed to be shimmed a little to align.
Epic Chanel, glad I found you guys.
Wow, such an awesome project guys!! This channel is definitely underrated 👌
I’m not a Ford guy but I have to give you guys a pat on the back for this one. Impressive by far!
I really hope you guys can do great things in development for the V10 if you guys could get to a point where you could make new castings for 4V heads and parts. That would be amazing. I really want to put a V10 in my 69 F250 with turbos or even just NA cause I love the sound of them. That monster you guys have built sounds insane!
Well done gentlemen
I just binge watched all you're videos, and guys, as an engineer who continually let down by the current generation; you guys give me hope and get me excited to get back into some of my projects. Awesome job, can't wait to see it dynoed and in the car. Can't wait to see what you guys do next!
You guys are brilliant 👍🏼👍🏼
Fucking incredible. This is without a doubt my favorite build on RUclips.
Sweet! Awesome work, such sweet sound
Congratulations on the startup🥳
Confusion between the firing sequence and firing order is a very common mistake when you're new to standalon EFI😊
Great sound from that engine😁
That really does sound great.
I can imagine seeing this 6.8L DOHC 40V Triton V10 powering a 67-72 Ford F100 Bumpside while bashing gears with a 6-speed manual gear box.
Stumbled upon your channel and went down the 4V V10 rabbit hole. Awesome! What y’all have accomplished here is amazing. Certainly looking forward to more content. Pure hotrodding to the core.
