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

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