yea this car was forsale on this site awhile ago. funny i was just wondering what happened to this car.

Nice car but I think the BIN is a few thou high...

[REAL4WD]

i dont know a super lot on turbos ,let alone remote mounted ones. but from wat i know, wouldnt remote mount turbo have turbo lag with the extra piping? he claims no turbo lag. granted they seem reltively small compared to the V10

[LOWBUCKMM]

thats y there is really no turbo lag cause of the small turbos. and with it being a v10 im sure its not a dog off the line.

Nice car, the price seems right to me, as long as it doesn't go over 10 grand

Zack did a V-10 swap into a Marauder a couple years ago. IIRC, it was a torque monster, but wouldn't rev too high, he ended up dropping the project. I find it a bit hard to believe it would be a real fast car, even with the turbos.

If they can stuff a V-10 into a GM why couldn't a 5.4l fit in our cars. Something about firewall clearance but jeez isn't a V-10 longer then a V-8?

IDK who told you that there would be firewall clearance prob with a 5.4 but they are dead wrong.
5.4 will fit in a MM, just gotta make a couple changes

It was hood clearence issues do to the frame changes and no time it fix before production started. Kind of a long story.

I am use to the V-10 in the E-350's and the were something off the line Considering the size and weight of the van

I think deck height of the 5.4 is the primary issue, isn't it? Hood clearance issues, but those are solvable.

Here are a couple links to Zack's V10 project:

So a S/C 5.4l and a cowl hood =? Something to think about

[MrBluGruv]

There was a video of that car on streetfire doing a pass a couple years ago. Thing is definitely quick.
