what is everyones thinking on this motor? i am looking at a possible new project and it has a v-10 and 178000 miles how good is this motor and such?

The Excursion we have has one and I personally think it is a good motor. We have yet to have any problems and it tows well and doesnt get that bad of gas mileage, however ours only has 70k on it.

hmmm only thing i know that sucks to mod them it gets expensive since it is the bigger motor

My brother has a 99 with the v-10. He likes it and it tows very well. It gets like 15 mpg.

really did he do any mods to it\? how does he like the excursion?

My brothers is in a 99 f250. I think all it has is a k/n filter and a tornado. He says the tornado helped his milage but I put one on my explorer and it didn't do nothing that I could tell. I do know though that when we take it out on the interstate and run 80 the milage gets pretty bad.
