Re: Ford 460 V8 vs. Triton V10 by J
Post New Message Hey,

The information I have comes from working in the automotive industry. I currently have an E-350SD with the Triton v10. They seem to be better on fuel while towing then big block V8s. Think of it this way, you have a 460 big block V8. Those cylinders are going to be bigger and heavier and take more energy to move, then 10 cylinders of a smaller mass, Therefor you will need more air and fuel to get them going. Where as with 10 cylinders, they are smaller, take less to move therefor less fuel. Also the more cylinders the more power and less strain on the engine. Yes the do have the tendency to have plugs blow out, but other then that, i have heard very few bad reviews on them.

Thats my lore on the subject :) Hope it helps.
