[QUOTE="turbosaleen, post: 4920521, member: 19975"] [b]heh[/b] the 5.0 litter ford probly has the highest millage potential of most late model v-8s for a a couple of very simple reasons one they have VERY SOFT RINGS .. they hardly wear the engine block at all. its not uncomon to take a 250 k short block apart and still see cross hatch from the factory hone. two they have very high gearing .. and a very low rpm rev limit .. 5500 rpm and with factory gears in the back a 1200 - 1400 rpm highway cruise speed. so the number of piston strokes made per mile up and down the bore is very low compared to most. i have seen a stock 5.0 that was over 450 k miles and still running perfect .. < stock to the air box no less > [/QUOTE]
