Ford V8 or V10?

[rionapo]

We were headed that way anyway but the 4WD restriction made it easy. The SMB replaces a Chevy 7.4L V-8 that carries a Lance camper. I never regretted the mileage hit w/the bigger engine as its power was always appreciated. Especially coming out of our dearly beloved but departed Westphalia. (Other aspects of the 91 Chevy's QC leave much to be desired but the power plant is great.)

So a little OT Don but what layout did you eventually decide on?

Hi Alex. We combined the 50 & the 30--wanted access to space that was unavailable in the 50 with its openness. Look like this, subject to changes when we get to the SMB stage:

What chip did you use in your V10?

Would you add one st 225k miles like I have?

Whoa. This is from a long time ago.

I'm at 450,000 now.

Yes, you can add a programmer at any mileage. Go with the 5-star tuner. It's better setup for heavy weights.
