what do you think about a V10 Marauder. I am thinking about dropping a V10 Supercharged motor in the Marauder. See photo below.

Do it! Do it! Dibs on your built Cobra shortblock.

Use the newer 3-valve block.

Quite tempting, isn't it. Two years ago, there was a CV/PI/V-10 project out there on the 'web, and as I recall it, it went slow but well. Last I heard, the owner was trying to market an upgrade kit, but I don't think it took off. Keep us posted, Greg, this should be exciting.

SergntMac, It is ver tempting. I am researching it now to find out all the information. Can you imagine the torque. Wowser!

It won't sounds as good, but that'd be about the only drawback I can think of. Cost? Well, it's your money and time not mine, go for it!!!!

What's the displacement on one of these puppies?

Also, what is the size of the block and deck height?

[TooManyFords]

Here we go!

[MainEngDwarf]

Go for it. If you can then why not.

Martyo, same deck height as the 5.4L.Same motor but it has two more cylinders. The motor mounts line up. I would have to get another hood becaus eof the deck height. I honestly don't know the dispalcement. Does someone know?

I am talking to a guy here in Kansas city that had one in his Grand Marquis and he was running 1.5 60 foot times with slicks. That was stock and N/A. He said the 1/8 mile was bad ass than it ran out of steam. He siad the car would pull the front wheels. Sounds like it needs a blower for the second 1/8.

Lot's of research before I jump into it.

6.8 liter
Of muscle and goobs of torque.
There was a v-10 GMQ , @ World Ford Challenge, With Slicks, a 75 shot of juice and some trans work?
It was a sling shot, turning 12.5"s all day in 90* and swealtering humidity.
It is the same guy that posted his time slip, on our time slips page, He submitted his slip in crayon J/K

Greg, ask to Pete to see the picture he has of the V10 GMarq launching at the track. Nice wrinkles and that puppy looked like it was getting ready to rear up on its hauches to beg for a treat.

I still see it every now and then on the street and tippy-toe around it.
