Maybe he counted the pistons in the a/c compressor and the brake master cylinder?

GM has never produced a v10 that I know of. Someone would really have to hack up the car to get any v10 to fit. I'd certainly call BS on that one...

My philosophy....With a book and some b@lls anything is possible.
I would say that your "expert" is not though, if he just said he had a V10 and didn't even mention it was a swap or custom build he is probably full of it
I know that if I had done a V10 swap I would be telling the story to anyone that would listen

Measured my buddies Viper motor and it would hit the steering rack if I tried not to mention the cross member. That is why you notice on the V12 one they lengthened the front of the car.

He is either lying or has no idea what he's talking about.
