except the extra cylinder. They are the same width and the V10's intake is a little taller. They share valvetrain parts, and are the same design as the 4.6L Ford, except wider (like a 302 and 351, taller deck height). The 5.4 currently has a ton more performance potential because the DOHC 4.6L Cobra heads can be used on it. The V10 has less hp and torque than the DOHC 5.4L, so that is why I think 5.4L. I still think a V10 Maverick would be awesome, but I think performance is the final goal.-CP
: between the V10 and the 5.4liter, also how wide are they, and how tall are they, and how much after market modifications can you do to each to get more performance out of them? The 5.4 might be the same length as the V10 but you might be able to get more after market stuff for the V10 than the 5.4, who knows? I think both engines would give the Maverick something extra and if you put them into a total Grandma sleeper they would definetely throw people for a loop. That is what Mavericking is all about. We drive our cars, we fix them up for performance, we race them, we show them, and most of all we love them, because they are Mavericks, not some over priced show queen or modern rice burner with enough electronics on them to choke a cow, or some out dated over weight so called Muscle Car that everybody and there brother has. Sam you have the right Idea your 2 Mavericks are prime example of Maveicking at its best. The best thing about your idea is that it different and being different is what it's all about. I say go for it!
