In 2003 sitting in front of a restaurant I saw a Ford Ranger with exempt plates, badged as a V-10 Police Interceptor. was I hallucinating? Or does this exist? It had a light bar, no stars, or fire dept. markings.... this was in Guymon, Oklahoma.

Wow that would be something. I think the V-10 has 310 HP and 400+ lb ft of torque stock.
Hay! That gives me an idea!
Someone stuck some badges on it, that's all. Ford never sold any Rangers with more than a 4.0 V6.
It takes serious modification just to fit a 5.4L V8. SVT built one 5.4 Ranger and they had to move the firewall back to make enough room.
The 5.0 on the other hand pretty much drops right in.

Thanks..I searched for years.,.(not religiously). Could not find it. I figured if it did exist, it would highly desirable.
It would be cool if they made one. But it's all good...a 5.0 Ranger will eat V10s for lunch...

Likely an updo. Mexican? They like to add badges of irrelevant form to their trucks.
But swaps maybe possible... I know of an LS1 in an S10 ZR2 like mine.
So I wonder if the ford 4.0L mounting design in the ranger has the same mount points as the new modular family from where the 6.8L V10 comes?

I had a 5.0 badge on the side of "my" Chevette in high school. From the back, it also appeared to be "Turbo Intercooled".
Sorry did not realize that you thought they could come from the factory like that. I was speaking purely from an engine swap possibility........
What the heck? That has a 6 cyl Cummins? Wow!
That's enough torque to spin the truck on it's top.......

Without looking for sure I suppose maybe it's possible that someone at the police department had some fun, and did some serious modification to a ranger, and donated it to the department. That would make one heck of an interceptor lol.
I've always thought badging should go the other way--like 307 emblems on something with a 502 swap.

Yeah I wonder if it is a 4 or 6... that 3.9L 4cyl (or whatever it is) could have a lot of good places for use...
Im not a fan of burnouts, just creates a lot of stink and pollution. But I guess torque needed to be proven...

THAT IS CRAZY! Instantaneous smoke. I do know an old man, ex-engineer, who put a 1975 straight 6 in an 85 Ranger, and a 5.4 out of 2004 Lincoln MK into a 1980 Futura....

Nope, that's the 5.9 liter I6 Cummins.
