V10 Project Car Reveal! - Ford V10 4V Build Ep. 15 

Ok this build just got exponentially cooler than pretty much everything else.

YES. This is the best possible option. The newest Continental never had a chance to properly shine and a stealthy luxury super sedan is absolutely perfect.

You guys deserve 4m subs not 4K 🙏🏼 Quality content 🔥

YASSS! That S550 / sedan interchange is impressively close. It almost looks easy. That short with Taco Bell at the beginning was funny AF.

You guys just gave an old hot rodder hope for the future! I am impressed by everything you have done!

This just keeps getting better and better. I own a triton v10 and always thought there was a lot of potential for them and this channel is so far beyond what I could have imagined for one. Words can’t explain how excited I am for this build to be completed

That intro was next level. Put on Sidepipes to save room for the transmission. Better ideas and work than any of the big channels on RU-vid. Keep it up 👍

Awesome choice. Only thing cooler would be if you scored one with the rear suicide doors. 👍

Loved the intro guys!! Never would have guessed a lincoln continental is what the v10 would go in but i think its bad ass and unique. I cant wait for the next update!!!

Definitely not the kind of chassis I was expecting, but It's pretty sick on paper and I'm sure you guys will do a great job putting it together. Excited to see where it goes (and to finally hear that v10 run!) best of luck

This is pretty cool... as a S550 owner I would say get the TR6060 if its not too late.. but the MT82 works if it must.

Yes! Can't wait to hear that v10 sing

The 40 Valve Fellas blew me away with the Conti! Sweet choice!

You guys are crazy clever, seeing your craftsmanship with the engine I have no doubt you're more than up to the challenge of the transplant. Also as an Aussie I appreciate the humourous John Clarke injection regarding the ATF spill!

Man!!! The choice you guys made for the car is absolutely awesome!!! I'm sure everyone was thinking of a "mainstream " car, but this is so much more unique...and it's gonna be classy fast!!! Super job you guys, super job!!!

The American Grand touring V10 sedan we never got. This is my favorite car build on RU-vid to date no doubt. I have ALWAYS been curious about swapping the Ford V10 engine into a car. I worked in construction for many summers during college and many of the trucks had The V10s. I was always fascinated by them but always wondered why they had little power for such a large engine. Well as we all know...they were made to work and pull....not gap sports cars. But that never deterred my brain from dreaming up a Panther platform super sleeper with a boosted triton V10 hauling ass on the highway just blowing by people with a unfamiliar V10 sound. Would be so cool and unique. As I continue to dream, I'll watch in aw as you guys pull this off. Incredible effort guys and I cannot wait to see this car completed, it's gonna be so cool!!!!

How have I missed this!???! I LOVE this so much!! This is what’s so great about RU-vid! Crazy genius like this!

This entire project is beyond stupid....and I love it.

Been following since the start of the v10 build, and I think the platform is a great choice. Classy as f, too!

BOOST that V10 and make this a BENTLY KILLER !

New take on Hot Rod Lincoln. Pretty cool!

Ultimate Grand Touring. I see this crossing the continent quickly and comfortably. Nice choice!!!

I think you invented the perfect Ford/Lincoln interceptor. The Taurus just doesn't live up to the old crown vic. But your continental will. Absolutely beautiful build idea. Very original. Well done. I was in process of dumping a 2v v10 in a crown vic prior to covid and life turning things upside down. Had to sell everything unfortunately. I enjoy the idea of the big v10 in a big car. The way things use to be. Nostalgia in the modern sense. Your build is the epitome of this. Again well done. Can't wait to see the continental with the 4 valve v10. The sound alone with that cars styling will be prize winning alone.

These guys are a couple of geniuses! I've been following this build and I'm truly amazed by their ingenuity! Nice work guys, keep it up.

Guys, I'm absolutely loving this build. I'm learning a lot about the newer for architecture as well as getting to witnesses some serious skill in just making that engine happen. Keep it up, yall.

Wow, YES! On one hand I'd want a sportier car, but honestly, this is so fitting and so cool. I remember seeing that Fusion on Hoonigan, that was so wild, glad to see there's another RWD CD4 conversion happening

You guys rock and I'm so glad I get to watch this process play out. You guys are doing what I've dreamed of for years

Can't wait to see the finished product, been keeping up with this build since the start, excited to see how the cams come out. Keeps me inspired to build more fun stuff in the future.

I love this build! Hopefully more people appreciate the mod motor V10 after seeing this!

This build took a totally different turn now! I love it and can't wait to see that engine fitment. Super cool!!

Never knew you guys were from Michigan....im over in Allen Park....glad to see some fellow michiganders build something cool right in the heart of Detroit!

This is THE BEST platform to do this! Im so happy with the progress and all i’ve learned to build it myself. Got a variable runner intake for 4.6 on the works to 3D print from the inspiration

This is great idea - you guys are killing it - loved the opening. 👍👍

What a platform! Never would have guessed. Absolutely EPIC build.

Amazing and I can't wait to see this all keep unfolding!

Awesome work guys!! Your enthusiasm is infectious!!

Really hit me in the feels seeing that Mark VIII in the background. I sold my LSC about 5 years ago.

Excellent, look forward to the next installment.

Congratulations 🎊 Can't wait to see and hear it run in the Lincoln!!

Your enthusiasm in enviable, I have no doubt Ford will be scratching their heads wondering why they didn't do it !

I've always loved the way these look! But definitely deserved to be a RWD platform so this will be so insanely cool!!! Keep up the great work guys

You guys freaking rock, this build is going to be sensational and I honestly can not wait to see and hear it once complete 👌🏻

I missed this video somehow before the V10 startup one and I'm re-watching now. I'm glad I'm not the only person who appreciates just how expensive Mercon LV transmission fluid is. When I first bought my Flex it was like $10 a quart. Best fluid I've found since then is actually the Valvoline Dexron VI/LV. The Max Life is supposed to be spec'd to work in the 6F55 transmission but I get harsher shifting with it, and I don't know if the Max Life had anything to do with it, but I've gone through 2 torque converters in 70k miles. This is after the factory one lasted 135k miles. Their LV specific fluid is actually cheaper, but the trans works better than new with a new converter and that stuff in it. It's better than the OEM so far. Nice bonus is it doesn't turn black like the Motorcraft fluid.

Love the choice of car, and so much fun to follow this project! Best of luck and looking forward to the next video

Awesome project car. I really like how the last Continental look. Cant wait to see V10 40v Continental completed! :))

I'm in for this build. Classy. 😊 Thank you, Fro Mo Co.

I just binge watched all of your videos after coming across your latest one. Y’all aren’t afraid to take risks. Try new things both of you seem to be very well rounded and evenly matched when it comes to Skill set and your ability to problem solve. Really love the video series and I am not even a big Ford guy! can’t wait for the next video in the series!

OMG I am so glad I found this channel!! You guys are awesome!!! I Want That Car!!!

Fwiw, that funnel is for the gas tank. The cap-less filler necks Ford uses requires that specific funnel to fill or siphon when not at a proper gas station.

Absolutely love everything you're doing with this build. Can't wait to see you make progress on it, and hope to one day see it at something like the MOCSEM all-Ford show at World Headquarters...would absolutely steal the show.

That's the first time for me seeing that year Lincoln. Perfect for the motor ❤it

Awesome series! I'll be sure to share it around

Love the work you guys are doing. You definitely earned a new subscriber with this build.

Awesome ❤, your channel is really amazing!

just stumbled onto this channel and it literally changed my life. this has always been a pipedream for thousands of us!!!

Yalls channel deserves to blow up!! Underrated

Very ambitious project. Keep up the good work

Excellent choice, a car that I see as quite underrated and underappreciated.

Super sick I can't wait to see it finished! Way to go guys keep it up!

I found the v10 startup vid before this. I would have never thought. Way better than a factory five.

outstanding work! Bravo gents! That lincoln did not get the recognition it deserved for sure, I to am a sedan guy

I lover where u guys have taken this!! Keep up the hard work!!

YOOOO!!! Bro I'm so hyped for this build more than anything I've seen on YT. And I quote" We not worthy, we not worthy" And he I was thinking it was going in a Lincoln mark8

It’s like watching someone live your dream😭😭 so excited for you guy, can’t wait to see where this goes

Great content!!!

I JUST LOVE THIS BUILD

Dude I’ve always wanted to see a ford v10 lambo killer 10/10 🔥

I honestly think Lincoln does not get enough love. You guys are building something really especial.

Good job boys. It's a go for a cool V10 Lincoln.

I am thoroughly enjoying watching this build. As others have stated, this is great content that needs more subscribers. FYI, that funnel in the trunk is so you can put fuel in the tank in case of roadside emergency. Ford puts that in every car that doesn’t have a gas cap.

The funnel is for the capless gas fill port.

Not a Ford guy and I'm stoked for this build. Shows how cool and unique it is. Hope to be able to see it on the roads here in MI one day!

Such an awesome idea. Great car too. Keep the vids coming!

Third. Oh well. (bey the time I got done typing my novel, I am now far from third. Oops) That funnel in the trunk is actually fairly important for those that don't carry plastic funnels with them regularly so don't lose it. It's actually to allow you to push the spring loaded fuel door where you put a nozzle in at from a fuel station island. This is needed if you run out of gas sometime and don't have a plastic funnel. Assuming this is like my friend's 2012 Ford Explorer that doesn't have a cap (Ford went to a "capless" design in some of their vehicles), I will assume this is what this car has as well. I tried to make a funnel at one time because I accidentally ran out of fuel and only had a flyer that was essentially newspaper material. I folded over the paper so it would be stronger and although the funnel worked fine to get the fuel in, the problem was, when trying to carefully pull the funnel back out, the spring loaded door collapsed onto the paper and caused it to lodge at the top of the fuel neck just below the little spring loaded door. I didn't want to leave the paper in the fuel neck area so, I did my best to pull out the paper from the fuel neck but I didn't have small enough long nose pliers with me at the time and a little bit of it fell down into the fuel neck. So, I had to remove it from the inner wheel well to get the rest out. It wasn't fun. Moral of the story: Don't lose that stupid little funnel. Why Ford decided to go to a capless system and make their spring loaded doors so strong is beyond me. If you guys happen to read this comment and made it this far, I was going to mention something to you regarding your build and issues with the heads having that small leak at the welds on one of the heads. I noticed when you were baking the heads to test them to see how strong they were, I believe you were baking them to about 240 or 245 degrees. Although 240 or 245 is above what you would "want" to allow your engine to get to, the reality is, this isn't really a super high temp and you should have probably baked them to 260 and possibly even 270 in my opinion. I'm sure I'll get engineers or other automotive techs coming in here and roasting me for suggesting this but I'll explain to you why based on my experience. I own a 2002 F-250 with the 2-valve 6.8 V-10 and it has about 335k on it now. Although it unfortunately has a bad head gasket (I am pretty confident it does now anyway), I believe it may not have been at first and I ended up abusing it over the last year to get it to the point of making a small problem very bad. It started with a small leak and I thought originally it was a heater core but now I'm not sure as I have a radiator leak just below the upper neck area with a crack running about 3 inches directly underneath the neck where the curve of the neck joins the main radiator portion. And, although I could have swore I had coolant coming out of the A/C drain tube about a year ago and I "thought" I smelled coolant inside the cab, I haven't smelled it for a very long time and I don't see anything coming out of the A/C drain tube and there is nothing on the floor. So, I must have been mistaken at the time I thought that's what was wrong. Back then, I had a couple other vehicles that I was driving so I wasn't really worried about it and didn't get super in depth with diagnosing what was wrong. Unfortunately, one of my pickups got totaled and the other one quit so I'm back to driving this one again. Anyway..... This crack started out as something small of about 1/2" to 1". Over the last 4 or 5 months, it's gotten worse. I've unfortunately not fixed the issue entirely since I suspect or am pretty confident that it's going to require a head gasket and I likely have cracked heads at this point so tearing it down won't do me any good until I have replacement heads ready or the money for them. Where am I going with this long winded novel about this? Well, I can only go about 15 to maybe 20 miles before the engine over heats if the weather is decent and I'm not pulling anything. If I'm pulling a trailer or it's hot or I decide to go faster, I only get about 10 miles before I have to stop and put 4 gallons in and repeat every time it gets to that point. But, when it gets to that point, the engine does start to lose power as forced by the PCM because the V-10 engine has a "fail safe" program built into it to try to prevent complete catastrophic failure and it shuts down a few of the cylinders and alternates which cylinders it shuts down to try to get the non running / operating cylinders to act as an air pump and cool the engine off. My engine does not do this until about 268 or 270 degrees. I believe I have seen as much as 274 at this point. Extremely high for sure. Typically, I try to pull over when it starts to get to 245 or 250 but every now and then, I push it too far and hit those 270 plus marks more than I would like to admit. Once I spend about 4 or 5 minutes getting 4 gallons of coolant back in, the engine is cooled off and I'm running great again until I have to repeat the process all over. The gauge doesn't really start to move towards the higher limit or line until about 240 degrees and then the over heating warning light doesn't come on until 260 degrees. I run the Torque Pro app with my phone or tablet and constantly monitor the various sensors so I'm pretty confident it's accurate. There is a sensor to monitor cylinder head temps and if memory serves me correctly, they are about 10 degrees warmer. than the engine coolant/temp sensor I could recheck though to verify if you need me to. They also have a temp that goes up way higher and I want to say it gets into around 1500 to 2000 degrees but can't remember for sure what that reading gets to. Obviously, I'm abusing my vehicle and running it way hotter than I should and I'm assuming I have a head gasket problem now. I tried to fix the radiator a while back with some high heat JB Weld that is supposed to be specifically for high heat stuff like plastic radiators and unfortunately, I believe the problem in the cooling system just got worse and worse to where the pressure build up just made the crack worse and I tried to fix it a second time and then it got even worse. I suspect the abuse has likely caused the head gaskets or head to get worse and worse. Should you try to drive your vehicle to 250 or 260 degrees? Of course not. I'm just thinking that 240 is not really enough though. Obviously, this is your guys' call. I actually used to be a Ford tech at a couple dealerships and I'm aware that the temps I'm typing here are very high and I understand if you disagree with my thoughts on trying to make sure your heads will stand up to higher temps than 240 or 245 degrees. I'm just one to push things to an extreme limit. I'm really hopeful that this all works out but I'm worried you're going to have issues with the weld areas. I really want to be wrong on that. Although perhaps you don't have much content to upload, one thing I would suggest is to try to come up with some sort of content so you can have new videos daily. We Ford V-10 lovers look forward to something different since these are sort of a forgotten engine. Having to wait a few weeks or a month is just way too long to wait. In my opinion, the Ford V-10 is probably Ford's larger engine that they should have kept in production and should have improved on what was a great engine. It was so reliable and so low maintenance. I think if they would have increased the cubic inches to say an 8.6 or even a 9.0, that would have been something. Or, at the very least, put a turbo on it or super charger. The best part is that both the old and newer 3-valve versions do NOT have cam phasers like the stupid 5.4 has to give it problems so it's super reliable. Since they took care of the issue with the spark plugs, if they could just increase the size of the exhaust manifold studs or bolts to make them less likely to break, that would be one thing that would really improve the annoying things that owners would have to deal with. Also, if they would change the way they have the engine oil filter cooler/heater instead of having it underneath the engine mount on the driver's side, that would also be a plus. It's a shame Ford took it out of service because it was a hell of an engine. Good power but it had a lot of potential for so much more. If they would have increased the size and put either a turbo or super charger on it, it would be desired by so many people looking to haul trailers. And, of course like you guys are doing, if they would have made it a dual cam version, that would also have been a major plus. We need to see this engine running soon guys. It's been too long getting this going. Hurry up already.

As a owner of a ‘98 LSC And other Ford product’s, I ’m impressed with the backyard mechanic theme of this build. Great job 👍

Love love love everything about this!

Such a skill set for young guys.... Props to you and subscribed.

@BuilditYourself: After I saw your two videos of the engine build and of the Lincoln, I wanna see the continuation of this project. I'm very curious as to how you guys will handle the challenging task of the wiring harness you'll be using. Outstanding work that you guys did here. Please continue to post all future updates on this difficult but doable project build, cause they are worth watching. Thanks.

You guys are doing a fine job. I enjoy watching.

Mannnn, that car will fit that engine perfectly

Sooooo sick!! This is going to be the cleanest car

Ok. After seeing it roll out with the IRS, I am sold.

Been watching your journey into fast and I am somewhat impressed. I have built a few cars in the past but nothing like what you are doing with the engine. Never had the $$. I bought a 72 AMC Hornet a few years ago intending to do something similar with it. I have an independent 3.70 gear rear frame out of a Thunderbird. I have the front brakes from an AMC Pacer that will bolt to the stock front end. I hope to help my son-in-law build this for my daughter.

That is gonna be a slick dope ass ride.

Better than I expected

Looking super nice !

I dig the aesthetic. Great choice

The funnel is so you can fill it up with a gas can. Some cans would work without the funnel but not all. All the Fords with a capless fuel tank have them. Awesome project, looking forward to following along!

LOVE IT!!! KEEP IT UP YA'LL!

Look at these Kings, just shinin’

going were few have gone before is amazing

I’ve really enjoyed this whole shit. Thanks guys. Love seeing the passion

Yes! I love it. Big Lincoln fan.

This was randomly in my recommended, now I'm intrigued

Glad to see a modern Conti get some love!! Always loved the design of this car, just wish it wasn't so underrated!

Love this build keep the vids comming

Gotta admit it.... IT'S AWESOME.... keep it up 🎉 ohh yea I want one!!!!

This build is f'ing sick! Earned you a new sub here. 😎

These boys building the car Ford should've made. I love it.
