Ford V10

[junkyardjeff]

Is there any kits that have that engine or any in resin,I know there is a Viper V10 and might have to go that route.  I normally only use old school engines but V8s look small where a V12 originally sat.

I am thinking about building a 41 Lincoln with modern drivetrain.

No kit V10 that I'm aware of...maybe there's a 1/24 scale diecast with one.  Watch those diecasts though, many are described as being a particular scale on the box, but measure out much smaller.

There are 3D printed variations on the V12 mill, like an ARDUN hemi-head conversion, or finned "aluminum" heads.  One of those setups could be right for a custom Lincoln.

There's an OHV V-16 Cadillac in the Johan '31 kit. Vastly more sophisticated engine than Ford's flathead lump, and it could conceivably be fitted with modern internals to make a strong yet vintage-looking runner.

I was going for just that in this chopped '39 Chevy, where a big ol' inline 6 used to live.

The Ford V10 is basically a 5.4 with two additional cylinders. They came in both 2-valve and 3-valve versions, depending on year and application. You could probably splice a couple of Mustang 4.6 engines together and make a decent replica yourself. Or make a phantom V12 even.

Better yet, dig up a couple of engines from the Revell Mach III concept and build a phantom DOHC V10 or V12.

Ron Olsen has a phantom LS3 based V12 on his 3d Model Specialties store on Shapeways. Everything I've gotten from him has been high quality without needing much if any clean up.

I seen pictures of that V12 and might be the best way to go,I was also thinking about going with modern suspension too but I really like old school better.

The Ford Triton V10 is just a 5.4L with 2 more cylinders. You could build one out of 2 5.4L engines. The new F150 kits should have one, maybe the lightning?

Something like this? It’s a V12 tho

I saw that while perusing the site. It looks very interesting.

I am glad to hear there is not much clean up on the parts. I just bought 13 Item from him/them.

I ended up getting a FE to put in it,was suprised it filled up thr engine compartment better then I thought it would and it was 1/25.
