Relative to the Ford V10's, I would love to have the newer 3 valve V10 and the 5 speed tranny. The real question is how much is it worth. I would probably pay $2000-$3000 for someone to install the extra power and gear into my MH, but that's about it. I get along just fine with the 310 hp and 4 speed tranny

Of course a newer MH is worth than an older MH, so figure accordingly.
