I know that, I have worked on several diesel engines.

As I said in my last post, the V10 diesel is only available
by special order directly from Ford. So, there is no documentation about this truck. It is not mass produced simply because this particular truck is only built to tailor to people's special needs for a truck that powerful. If it was mass produced Ford would lose alot of money because very few would buy this truck off the lot. The only reason I even know that this truck exists is because my best friend's grand father owns a Ford dealership in North Carolina.

I should still be able to find some information on it online somewhere.  I can find a 7.3L V8 Turbo Diesel-but not a V10.

I feel like a incredible jack ass. You were right, The F-350 does not come from ford with a V10 Turbo Diesel Power Stroke, however after the vehical is bought you can convert the F-350 V10 to a Turbo Diesel.

I was actully refering to the F-250 Super Duty 7.3L V10 Diesel Power Stroke. Which I myself have never been able to find a difference between a F-250 & a F-350 Power Stroke. I can't believe I kept going on about a F-350 7.3L Diesel Power Stroke, when it really doesn't exist besides a after market diesel conversion.

So it is the F-250 7.3L Turbo Diesel Power Stroke.

When that issue resolved.....

Did you know that the Ford Class B Motor Homes only come standard with a V10 Gas (Average 4-5 mpg) instead of the V10 Power Stroke Turbo Diesel which would get 14++ MPG? Gas engine's in motor homes is beyond ridiculous.

P.S. I found that out while searching for the F-350 V10 Diesel Power Stroke. lol

No offense but ford and exotic really dont go together in any sense of the word. Impressive yes, exotic no.

Couldn't agree more


The new Cobra GT500 is just one of the worst places to put the Shelby name.  All it is is a SVT product with Shelby stickers on it

Motor & transmission built by SVT but the overall car build by Ford. Which makes it still a Ford Mustang cobra but I can't say it should be a Shelby. As almost all the mustang cobra's, have SVT engines or just a few select SVT parts but a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 should not have SVT anywhere in the car. It should be all Ford Mustang performance parts not SVT performance parts allthough they might be more powerfull they just arn't Ford. I think that if they put the ford name on it, there should be no parts not ford.

huh? I didn't really get you on that one. the cobra has always been a almost completely different car than the mustang (engine, gear box, chasis, drivetrain, interior, sound system, wheels/tire) and all by svt (which is ford special vehical team (a division OF FORD, in the same way as AMG is part of mercedes).

am i misunderstanding your argument?

I was saying that there  is a difference between plain Ford Mustang performance parts & SVT Performance parts & they do not belong in a shelby as they were not in a shelby in 1967 they should not be in them now.

What Model & year, if you want.

For example, Mk1 Escort RS 2000 Circa 1976, which, it isn't.

[Craig.]

year 1983?
