The Ford 6.8L V10 is a pretty good powertrain and will last many miles if taken care of. Being an E-series van chassis makes it harder to work on, but they are reliable.

Ok that's great to hear. That's kind of what I've been seeing on YouTube..Its a shuttle bus so I have so many questions on the actual conversion, from batteries, AC on and on... thanks for the response, its appreciated! I scheduled a consultation meeting next week. I think I'm jumping in over my head. Haha
