Default What's the real objective?

Perhaps you can ask yourself and truly answer here first what it is that you are really hoping to accomplish or learn from installing a Triton V10 vs. other power plants:

- Just to do something different?

- A different look or size?

- Different sound?

- Power? (There are other options)

- Extra Torque? (not really needed)


I saw a Cobra with a Ferrari V12 in it about 13 years ago. It looked cool, sounded cool, was an interesting project to see in person - but something 99 of 100 Cobras owners probably would not do or care to do. So, it just depends, some folks like to do something different just because they can or want to be different. You can put two R1 Yamaha motorcycle engines in an Austin Mini Cooper and it will go like crazy too, but may not be for everyone.

I'd say once you figure this out with more certainty, you can make just about anything work with desire and willingness with customization. Good Luck.
