Making a Custom V10 Aluminum Intake - Ford V10 4V Build Ep. 7 

10:29. For future reference, guys, don't ever use a cutoff wheel to cut aluminum you're welding. Bits and pieces of the wheel will impregnate into the aliminum and cause leak points. All those black little specs in the weld just above that throttle body plate is a perfect example of contamination of the weld from that cut off wheel. Just use the cut off wheel to cut down the section you want to cut off the larger piece of aluminum sheet, then use the band saw to do the final cut. You'll thank me on future builds.

I can't wait to hear how this engine is going to sound. Huge mod motor fan. Currently have a single turbo 2v that I beat the hell out of. This platform is highly underrated.

very cool stuff guys-keep up the good work

I know you guys have day jobs but you're breaking new ground. Hopefully the YT world will recognize how special this project is and support new content.

Guys your the next generation of engine builders. Like what you did in a simple garage and with simple tools. Keep it going because I wana see that engine running.

I truly hope there are equal length, long tube, 10 into 1, sequential fire headers in our future 😁

So cool to see someone building the V10.

Wrinkle Blue w/Gloss black oval and valve covers.

I just found you guys from Deboss Garage. I am absolutely hooked on this build. You guys are doing an incredible job!!!!

AL is great to weld once you figure it out. when you lay an ugly one, run back over it with the torch (no filler) and work the pedal to pretty it up. good looking intake!

Waiting Patiently 4 more updates . Come on guys 👦 pls . Robert Australia 🇦🇺

Totally awesome! Great use of the 3D modelling and 3D printing!!

You guys should definitely try a stubby cup for your Tig torch. Makes holding the torch and getting in tighter spots much easier. Really cool project.

A brushed finish might look good on that intake....along with some blue(or possibly black) valve covers.

The 6.8 h-owl is an awesome project name for that engine.

Awesome fellas. Most anticipated engine build in youtube history for me!!!!! I was looking into the v10 ford about a month before you guys started this and I am hooked! FYI i reckon paint the intake ford blue wrinkle finish. The aussie fpv boss 290 engines had blue intake and they look sick.cheers

I hate how the RU-vid algorithm isn't getting you more views!

That's pretty incredible work considering you guys have self-taught during the build. Looking forward to the completed engine!

Blue crinkle!

I really like where this is going. Definitely a labor of love. I really hope Ford Racing or Edelbrock or AFR or somebody is paying attention. You guys have struck on, what could be, the next big thing for Ford guys. Cant wait to see the numbers or hear it scream! BTW…subbed. Hooked. Yahtzee!!

Awesome job on that intake.

Great progress!!! The intake came out great! Excited to hear this thing run

This is such an epic build! I am hooked!

Just polish the intake for now and clear it. Anything after that isn't screwed up then, if you change your mind.

You guys are absolutely fearless. How about some info on the rotating assembly (pistons, rods, etc.)? I vote for satin black on the intake.

Keep them coming guys! Current Intake Finish Tally: Gloss Black: I Satin Black: I Natural/Brushed Aluminum: II Gloss/Polish Clear: III Wrinkle Blue: III Anodized Copper: I Anodized Black: I Cerakote: II Gun Metal Grey: I Nardo Grey: I

you can probably 3d print the actual intake... or use a 3d model to make a mold to cast one either in resin or aluminum. you guys have skillz

Amazing work. I'm jealous!

Nice work, I don’t understand why it’s a divided intake, but I’m sure you can see how it works with and without the divider

I would go for Cerakote, Junkyard Dave loves that stuff and he used a lot on his Charger Wagon build ✌️ You guys deserve more subscribers!

The Howlin Owl!

Third time asking for a video on the mark viii! BTW THE INTAKE IS SIIIIIICKKKKKKKKK!

I think just DA sand it down to a nice smooth finish, then use scotch brite to grain it front-back. Best case you could have it anodized clear or even black or gold or something neat. I'm not a huge fan of the coarse grinder finish though, it should be smoother than that.

Watched 3 in a row. So engaging and love how you worked thru issues. I know at this point you got the V10 to run, but how well in the design was reverberation and air turmoil within the intake box to insure even air flow from the front cylinder to the last rear cylinders? Love to see the engine dyno tested. Well off to bed. 😴

Wow that looks really good!

The trumpets should actually protrude into the plenum.

You guys are awesome!

Looks great! Love the unfinished look too

Great process .

I cant wait until this is finished, its going to be awesome

You guys are nuts but very awesome 👌

Wrinkle spray black with grabber blue ford emblem

Nice work

You guys are killing it. I absolutely loved this intake build. What is your background with using the milling machine? Do you guys work in the industry or just figured it out at home?

Great job guys! Cant wait and my Excursion can't either so hurry up! LOL!

Great work

Looks pretty damn good 👍

Beautiful work! Cerakote it so it stays as cool as possible.

You, Welded the Wrong part 😅 The alterations to the front of the Manifold definitely look a lot better than in the previous video👍👍

Nardo grey with those black fuel rails would look nice

I ❤ what U guys are doing. Xcellent so far . As 4 colors. I would personally go black ⚫️ block , heads & valve covers . And a Ford Blue Intake . 💙 It would really Pop . The division in the intake ?? Is that what normally occurs? Can't wait 2 see this baby on the engine stand on the Dyno . Hope u r taking 2 the best camshaft guys like Comp or Howard's Cams . What sort of torque r u guys hoping 4 ? Robert Australia 🇦🇺

Can't wait to see this finished up! 1 word of advice though, I would have left the center divider out for more plenum volume and revision balance inside the intake

I also think the divider is probably not the best idea some kind of balance hole should cut one thing to remember is resonances in there plenum can help almost act as boost at certain rpm’s so having no divider would be beneficial just my 2c

You guys are talented ! This is gonna blow up ! Not the motor but the content. What do you guys do for a living in curious haha.

Consider pulling the intake & making provisions for a SFI burst panel. It would be a shame to have a backfire event that frags all the hard work you’ve put I to this intake. PS: I just binge watched episode 1 to current. PSS: GREAT stuff, thanks for posting your ambitious journey!

This is a great build. Very excited to see how this motor runs. what vehicle are you putting it in?

I love it but why the split chambers and not some openings to even pressure?

Probably missed this but why the divider plate between the banks ?

Polish it!

👍👍👍👍

Keep up the great work. I can tell your youtube skills are improving too. Super excited to see all of your progress. So impressed with yall's fab skills. The algorithm needs to pick you guy's up and blow up this build and channel!

Your numbers to beat for a 2V N/A Ford V10 are 324 HP, and 525 TQ, factory stock numbers are 310 hp, 425 tq

For air flow would the throttle bodies flow better opening with the shafts vertically? So that the air would flow straight back instead of hitting the devider?

Now I believe the 2V and 3V v10 have a balance shaft on the left cylinder head, what is your plan on that, do you think the extra cams will keep the vibrations down?

Maybe gun metal grey

Yall do any flow analysis for the design?

I have same v10 engine on my E-450 Super Duty 2003. Can you make stainless steel? how much it cost?

make them 4.6 to 5.4 4v intake adaptersssss

Why did you put in a divider in the intake?

Keep the finish simple. keep it natural or give it a semi or full gloss black.

If you had to put a price tag on just the intake manifold , What would that number be?

Why no new videos

Frequency is to high run 90hz sounds like atleast 150 way to high

sooo yall gonna leave the intake like this or yall will cut the wall in the middle?

Import an Aussie Falcon to put it into

I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE IT ALL DIALED IN. GODSPEED
