I'm not a fan of replacing parts in hope it will cure the ailment. Sometimes we need to, but I'd dig deeper and find root cause.

Having had a V10 in a C, I've not experienced the misfire issue. Hopefully you can gather more info, perform a few tests first.
**real life example: my friend had intermittent issue with a zero turn not starting, not even turning over. He began replacing parts...battery (twice), starter, coil, some other items...turns out, after all that, he mentions it to me...and after 30 seconds of looking at it, I saw a loose ground to frame. That did it. Not saying yours is that easy...but in this case, $500+ spent and turns out issue was to put the proper lockwasher on the ground to keep it tight.
Issues such as random misfire can be hard to diagnose.
