First time ride along in this, the latest iteration of, 1983 Mercury Capri - slight modification done. Mostly stock build
I would like to know more
Anything in particular or just a general idea of the hot dicks our shop produces.
Yes,god, please get together and make a video!

Yes mr regular that would be awesome to see a video on this
@@thatguy5915 won't happen for many reasons. One being the border is shut down from entering or leaving our two countries prevents this. Also it's not a regular car. He doesn't seems to do much reviews on highly modified cars. Lastly I biffed the car on a cement barrier and the shell is destroyed. The motor will live in in another chassis though
"How do you know it's the world's first?"
"I'm the first one dumb enough to do it"
We're not the best but we might be the first.
@@Nodarperformance I was joking I really admire it, ever since the v10 test mule I've been waiting for someone to try it 👍
@@Nodarperformance It's a really cool build. Why not the 3 valve?
One of the coolest builds I've seen
I think I've rewound this about 30 times already. Totally legit working man's hotrod. Forgot how good the early foxbodies looked, especially the Capri! Way to take what you've got and make it as awesome as you can.
Well I just over a week it will be going in for Dyno tuning. I'll post another video of it getting tuned and hopefully some decent hp numbers. I am hoping for anything above 250whp and 350 torques
@@Nodarperformance '350 torques' - Said Jeremy Clarkson 😂😂
Am satisfied finally someone posted the real sound of an American v10
The viper v10 could never hope to sound that good😂
This is very similar to pre 2008 Lamborghini gallardos and the Audi V10
Is it a small block or big block with two extra cylinders or did he deadass viper swap it?
@@rainbowrailroadcrossing7798 it’s a Ford triton series 6.8l v10 out of a f-150
@@jakeryan152 it’s out of a 250 not a 150
This is the true spirit of hot rodding. None of this cookie cutter megabuck trailer queen nonsense. Love it.
Yeah I also have gotten bored of the we just bought a lot of expensive parts and just bolted them on builds. It's like david freiburger said. "Don't get it right. Just get it running and then deal with all the small things.
I've always wondered what a ford v10 would sound like when tuned in a street car. This video is my answer. Great job guys on this! I love that 80-90s style with a touch of modern mods.
Yeah it was great but sadly I totaled the car. Drivetrain is fine so I am thinking of using a thunderbird as the new shell
Nodarperformance glad your okay, and that the 6.8 gets to live on :)
@@Nodarperformance bound to happen tbh with such a beefy engine and no TC
They tested a 5.8 version in the 99-04 Stang. They would've called it the Boss 351
Sounds like a viper with headers. Awesome!
And makes more power then a first gen viper
No it doesn't, I have a Viper gen 3...
MidShipCivic ok and? He said 1st gen not 3rd
Sutliff01 probably a kid making shit up
It does
When you have no regard for cost effectiveness but want all the torque and a totally badass unique car, you truck v10 swap a foxbody. This is the kind of build i would beeline past aventadors, gt3s, and turbo s550s to come check out
Absolutely. Oh, you got LS power? Yeah don't bother... you can close the hood. *walks away*
Some Ford engineers made a 5.8 V10 to put in a new edge as an outside of work project. Basically made of 1 off castings. Basically a 4.6 4 valve with 2 extra cylinders. And it sounds amazing lol
5.4 with extra cylinders
@@nate40365.4 with extra cylinders is a 6.8 v10 which already exists
@@blokay_garageThey sound a little similar too
Man im lovin those louvers...they look great on these cars as well as Saabs
yes and once Brendan finds a clean 900 shell he will most likely install the mint oem louvers he has upstairs on a 900
I work at the Ford plant and I installed these motors into the heavy duty trucks when they introduced them.
Nice. Wish ford would have kept them.
I have an ‘89 Ford LTD Station wagon and I also recently bought a 2000 Excursion with the 6.8.
Been really intrigued by the V10 and looking at potential performance options, and then started pipe dreaming about swapping the small block wagon to a V10.
Got to looking and this is the best video I’ve found so far that had an engine swap.
Engine sounds amazing and the whole concept of swapping in Ford-built V10 is just so badass.
Yeah its not the best engine but its pretty cool
This car looks like a mix of what I'd expect from "The Wraith" and "Mad Max" movies. A true anti-hero car...fucking legend!
My first car was a 86 5.0 mustang GT my sophomore year in 1994. I miss that car.
mostly stock build you say....
I like the urs4 in the back. Definitely understand the 5cyl
Actually it's a URS6! Good eye
fart before I get in lol 1:30 ish mark.
Ok now this is Sweet! Wow freaking awesome I have a V10 in my truck but dude that is crazy fast!
It was pretty fast. Wish I didn't decide to drift a corner and ride up over a barricade
Totally having HS flashbacks here 😂. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.
That is so much more awesome than the 6.8 lump in the F-450 I drive at work. Lol
Didn't even realize you were from BC at first, something about the way you two speak just sounded too familiar not to be here. Lol
That beats by Acura head unit though!!!
First car I bought in highschool was an old 82 GT. Huge mistake selling it to my bro miss that car all the time.
Dear lord that first hard pull sounded so good I couldn't NOT smile. Shit I wish I had these skills, resources, and time!
Idk what it is but I have always loved V10’s especially the way they sound.
First v10 that actually sounds like a muscle car dude!! Badass!!!
That sounds incredible!
Hey I see BC plates there, i'm in BC too. I have a 3 valve V10 I want to swap into my old truck. I didn't think there was any aftermarket way to run the ignition... so this is all very interesting.
Lots of options for ignition control. I went megasquirt ms3x running wasted spark. If I could go it again I would use the mspro as it have ten output for ignition and injection. So a little easier
I would really like a rev and fly by video of this car. It's really cool!
Love this car, sounds awesome
Reminds me of the interceptor in mad max
I had a 79 mustang Cobra. Great little cars. I always liked to get people to try to honk the horn.
3:40 starts actual driving
This is a Frankenstein's monster I can get behind. Mercury body, Ford V10, Prelude seats, Acura radio. What's not to love?
i love the no f's given filming style lol
people are too picky anymore
awesome video by the way. have always questioned this since dad drove an Econoline for the longest time.
also being a foxbody owner im digging the goofy looks!
I dig it! Ford in a Ford, unique and ITB 👌🏻🔥👏🏻👍🏻
Looks like a mini Mad Max interceptor
Wasn't intentional but it did kinda turn out like that
@@Nodarperformance Nothing wrong with that lol. I myself drive a mod motor in one of the last V8 Interceptors. But I don't think its quite as fast as yours
@@thesixgunfighter288 it's probably faster now as I biffed it over a k rail and tweaked the frame
love it man, good job! i almost went MS on my #v10bumpside, but decided to stick with stock ECM for now.....may have to change that up down the road with boost. glad to see another v10 swap on YT!
glad someone else is having fun with the v10. wish it had more of a following as its a pretty decent motor
Hope y’all start a trend!
@@markbuster7140 I doubt it. The motor.is now discontinued as the new 7.3l push rod will replace this and the V10 will be forgotten like the Dodge truck v10. The non viper V10 they made
My god it really does sound like the batmobile in the new batman
Ill have to watch it
Ive wanted to see something like this for a long time thankyou sir
Imagine this in a Crown Vic or panther platform. That would be MENTAL 🔥🔥
Man, just listening to this thing go left me breathless! I've always daydreamed about v10 Fox.
On a scale of 1 - 10, how much would you recommend anyone attempts this swap?
Depends what your after. If it's ease of install and peak horsepower then it's a 3 out of 10. I like it because it's fun and a v10
Yeah his fart left me breathless too bro 😎
So damn cool. Looking at putting a v10 in my foxbody lincoln soon
Beast Mode
Sweet! Can you imagine what this would be twin turbo'd oreven with a single turbo?...💪look out! Even only on 7-10lbs it would be a torque monster.
I've seen a video of a guy with a turbo 3v and it pulls the front wheels off the ground.
Holy shit something good to come out of the province BC!
Honestly BC has a pretty legit car scene. It's the red plate province that has the lamest builds.
Nodarperformance I hope you’re referring to Alberta... all we have here are slow manhood compensation trucks and ricers
@@Nodarperformance It's not the people or the car scene in B.C. It's the province itself, hippy libtard over taxed drug addict filled province.
@@mattcat234 don't blame the whole province for just the lower mainland/ Vancouver. The rest of the province is pretty decent
Shit...now I have the urge to get a foxbody shell and pull a 6.8L V10 out of an Econoline and make my own Ford Viper 😀
Kudos for wearing the Ichiban Moto gear. I love that channel.
Yeah I really enjoy his videos
That alfa and URS6 in the background 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah they are pretty decent
Capri was so much more sexy then the mustang.
Ahhh yeah the fox body capri. Basically a rebadged mustang. But this one is glorious
Always fart before you get in.
This is fucking awesome. Cool choice for such an oddball build too.RIP. SC will be a great host for the drivetrain.
I actually ditched the supercoupe in favour of a 3rd gen camaro and have come along a fair way on the project.
Guy: *Opens door*
Me: PRELUDE SEATS!
Guy: These are Honda Prelude seats
Me: YESSS
Love the Fox cars, hated the seats. Good choice 🤘
Ngl it sounds like an old school v8 like those you'd find in 60's gm cars. Makes me wanna v10 swap something lmao
Its a lot of fun
I want one of these in my 92' vette
The front portion of the car, to the rear of the doors is a Mustang. From there back it is Capri with fender flares, rear quarter window trim, tail lights etc. The Capri never had a grille or front side marker lights as shown
Its only a mustang front bumper. It is a capri
Didnt know we had to watch this dude clean a car just to sit down
HOLY SH*T!!!!!!! 😍😍😍
Mustang front fenders and hood on that Mercury, no flares up front, does not look bad...
It had flares on the front and the front fenders were the OEM Capri fenders
@@Nodarperformance yeah, I see it now, the aftermarket flare on the fender lip kind of disguises it, the flat black paint hides the body line at the angle it is shot at.
A car more perfect than a crown vic. Just missing the t-tops
That thing is fucking awesome man
It certainly was czcams.com/video/hgP7DMav4XI/video.html
nice acura head unit
Dude! Itb 6.8 is the most badass homebrew I've heard to date. What itbs are you running ?
They are four sets of triumph inline three motorcycle throttled bodies. I cut one throttle body off two of the sets.
Sadly I went little too hard on the throttle pedal and wrote the car off. The next chassis that gets the engine won't likely have the itbs. Maybe just two big throttle bodies.
@@Nodarperformance sorry to hear that, I saw the video of it getting towed onto the flat bed earlier today. That is one mad Max v10 lmao. Hope to see the next build up and running soon eh
@@DamienDemiGod hoping the new chassis has wider shock towers so I might be able to run something aside from log manifolds
@@Nodarperformance Is there a video or are there images out there of this particular intake arrangement? Asking for a friend.
I plan on doing this to my 08 mustang
How’d you stuff that in there? I love the V10
I never doubted it was the worlds first 6.8 v10 mercury capri.
Apparently I was wrong. There way someone who has done it. I can't find pictures but he had some ancient forum posts
Nodarperformance huh. I will say it’s the best sounding modular v10 I’ve ever sampled. Much more v8ish than v6ish.
I knew thoes were prelude seats haha I have one and I was like no wayyyyy
beautiful car
I wanna see more of this fucking monster please
I have questions:
Is it a stock 6.8?
Did you make your own exhaust or buy a system that doesn't lead to a y-pipe?
What was your ECU set up like? (also any electronic info would be cool making the engine work with the chassis)
debating doing this swap if my coyote ever blows
Modified the oem cast manifolds. Ecu is a mega squirt ms3x. Running wasted spark for the ignition. The motor has a slight bump in compression but is most stock internally.
@@Nodarperformance is it a NPI, PI, or 3valve motor?
@@matthewboggs4639 pi 2v
Amazing just amazing!!!!
I just noticed the Acura Stereo. LOL
It so hard to find a working cassette deck that looks period correct. I went through four decks till I had to settle for acura one.
This was the "Dodge Viper" before!!
I'm puzzled. If that is a Mercury Capri, then why does it have a Mustang front end?
Because it has a mustang front end on it
Man it sounds like a tamed version of the Viper’s V10.
The exhaust I built for the was pretty close silent. All you are hearing in the video is induction sound
This is what i wanma do to my 88 fox
Question what transmission are you using?
I wanna keep the manual in mine
I used a t45 out of a 96 mustang with the 4.6l
@@Nodarperformance awesome thanks
Working man’s super car
What transmission are you using? It sound so good I’m putting one of these in my galaxie.
At the time of the video it was a tko600 but originally it was a t45 from a 96+ mustang gt with the 4.6l
@@Nodarperformance thank you! Your build here really inspired me. I’m picking my v10 up tomorrow.
What did you do about motor mounts? Did you do custom home made solid jobs or did you use stock style and flip them over or what?
Used a upr modular k member and used stock 96+ motor mounts
Badass build need more vids or pics
Cant. I crashed the car
@@Nodarperformance noooooooooooooooooooooooo
@@kevinsleppek6058 czcams.com/video/-tKn8EC5Cgo/video.html
Should be getting the new chassis to swap the engine in. It will be a lot more mad Max then this car
That cars kinda mad max
What’s the highest RPM reached in this video? Sounds like 4800-5300? I’m trying to increase the RPM capability of my swap project, to get an Audi-like V10 tone. Needs to hit ~6500, but even with beehive springs I’m floating valves at 6200 or so.
With stock cams there is nothing past 4500rpm. Not really valve train limited on this engine as its just a 5.4l 2v.
@@Nodarperformance Mine is a 3V. I am looking into a set of custom cams, need to figure out best specs (copy 5.4 profile?). I have a set of aluminum forged rods & pistons already in it, plus a Paxton from an F-body in place of AC for 10-15psi on the top end. All this still far cheaper (and more potent) than an R8/S8 swap!
@@Krossf1re did you ever figure it out? If so, maybe share some info? I just got a 3v myself
It’s like Mad Max but with an Acura radio
A stock coyote with tune this car would be a monster
Nah. This motor makes more torque and if I put cams in it would have more hp. I have no love for the coyote V8. It's neat but too damn wide. I started this project with the intent of swapping one in but gave up due to amount of extras I had to buy to have a clean install.
Nice!
I know this car is dead and gone, but rear end was in that? did it still have the 7.5 inch with 2.73:1 gears or did you put an 8.8 in it with the more normal 3.08:1 gears? When I had the 7.5 my 351W T5 in 1st gear would idle at like 12 mph... when I put the 8.8 in it was actually drivable and hella fast. She was ugly as sin, but there wasn't a car out there I was afraid of. 0-100 Nobody took that car, which was great for screwing around on the street.
It had the 8.8 with 308 gears. With the tko tranny and the 86 final drive
Omg I want to do it now
Is this the 3 valve or 2 valve version? How much power is she making? I have so many questions 🤯
It is 2v pi. There is a video on our channel of it on the dyno. It made 340ish horse power and 440 torques. I have forgotten the exact numbers.
That door sounds so familiar
We used a recordable speaker and used a sound clip of the new Ford door chime. That door chime was always the least annoying for me for whatever reason.
The Acura radio lol
Brrrrt lmfao nice toot bro
No farts were released during the filming of this Video
do you have the stock cam in it cause if there is an aftermarket one i can get i haven't been able to find any
It was a stock cam but I look at apocalypse motors. I paid for them to make me a cam and by the looks of it they did a small run so you might be able to get one a bit quicker than it took me
my dad had a 1983 Mercury Capri with a ford 351 winsor swap
I have always liked the capri bodylines more then the mustang.
I need to get up with about how you did your wiring harness and how you did your intake
Thats insane, i never thought a capri could house an engine larger than a large V6
I have widh the tranny tunnel was larger as well
The RS came with a 5.0
@@xCRO3x Dang, that thing must'eve been quick
@@isakjohansson7134 a Capri is the same car as a Mustang - both are the Ford FOX chassis
@@Nodarperformance ah, that makes sense
How did you do your stand alone ecu/ecm? Ihave one from a F53 chassis & have the computer but need a pinout to the harness.
I cut open the harnessm reused the factory connectors and used new wire from diyautotune. It has labels printed on the wires and then just ran the wires where they needed to go on the ECU and relay board. It was pretty simple. Seemed easier and have more potential for power then the factory ecu
I know this is an older video, but I have a 1979 Mercury Zephyr and I've always thought of doing the 6.8 swap. Was it just a modular K member to get it installed? What did you need to do to get a manual hooked up to it?
I used a modular swap k member. You will have to go manual brakes or hydroboost brake booster for it to fit. I used a t45 tranny and is pretty simple if you keep it all cable driven
@@Nodarperformance ok, so I guess I'm wondering how different it is from a 4.6/5.4 swap. I've been collecting stuff to do a mod swap for a while now but wasn't sure what all was different with a V10 regarding fitment and wiring
@@asteffenson88 its pretty much a 5.4l just longer.
@@Nodarperformance thanks for the info. I think I'll go that route. I appreciate it
What’s the RPM limit?
Also while the width and height are identical to the 5.4 V8 (not including intakes) the 6.8 is around 4” longer than the 5.4 having the extra length between the motor mounts and bellhousing meaning the transmission would be moved backwards around the same 4”. Just curious on how you handle this problem.
Almost went this route but ended up with a Coyote instead
It's interesting no almost went coyote swap before this engine. Rpm limit is kinda unknown but max power in stock form is at around 4200 rpm. So it's got lot of room to improve. For fitting the engine I got a grinder and a welder
I thought the extra length was infront of the motor mounts
I gotta put a 6.8 into a bumpside F100 some day. That would be too cool.
Best time to start was yesterday. Second best time is today
@@Nodarperformance Nah, today probably isn't a good time. Maybe once I finish the automotive mechanical engineering program I start next year. Then I'll have a lot more skills.
The capri just had better body lines then the mustang
