Not sure why a V8 is a good idea, prefer V10, need enough power when needed.
Because the Ford gas 7.3 V8 puts out much higher HP and Torque numbers than any version of the Ford V10 ever did.
Hmmm .... please compare the V10 HP & Torque as previously used in Ford pickups (the 3-valve version - not the 2-valve version as previously used in the E-Series vans) to their current new V8.
I don't think the new V8 swamps out the good old 3-valve V10 by "that, that" much in the power department. :h
(Wasn't Ford's reason for the new V8 -> to improve MPG as much as possible for it's given power ... as compared to the 3-valve V10's MPG for nearly the same power?)
