Triton V10 is Home...PICS!

[Zack]

This thing is HUGE

Here it is:




I love Modular engines, because they are, well, 'MODULAR'!

I was concerned about the oil and water neck on the drivers side:

So far so good... er....Oil pan

Stock vs Marauder:



Stock Marauder pan bolted up:





So, to get this thing in the car, Im going to order another Marauder Oil pan.
Then I will lay the v10 pan out on cardboard and spray some paint through the holes, creating a template. Once I have that, I can cut the front section off the old Marauder pan and weld it onto the new Marauder pan to fit.

As is, the V10 pan will hit the crossmember and is way too deep (9.5" vs 6.25 on the MM)
A small adjustment to a stock MM oil pick up tube and the engine will be in the car.

I must admit Im scared of the electrical wiring needed for this to be a success. I have the best brains working to see if the Marauder computer has the extra drivers built in to run 2 extra cylinders. If so this will be much easier than I thought.
If not, I will have to adapt the V10 computer to run the engine and other essential MM functions, and most likely buy a stand alone Bauminator 4R70W transmission controller.

Ill keep everyone in the loop

Was it a 2V?
This is a 3V, much more involved, and is drive by wire.

Thanks for the reassurance, Im gonna REALLY need it here.

Hey buddy, get that rascal slapped in Prozak and bring it on down to Marauderville!

[Zack]

Wouldnt it be cool if I had Logan Motorsports build me a custom Carbureted intake for this thing and went that route?


Oh god, so it begins

[Black_Noise]

there isnt room for 2?

Keep the ideas rolling Zack, can't wait to read more about the project.

The potential is enormous, uncharted waters for sure. If you succeed your a hero,if not than valuable lessons and knowledge will be obtained. Good luck.

How about using the MM TB for non drive-by-wire.

I know this: The PCM is the one that flat and has 3 plug ins.

Keep us posted.
