“Some of the Ford V8’s run that long a well. “

When Ford designed the Coyote V8 they knew it would be boosted.

The stock 480 hp engine run 800 hp easily. I am running 750 hp. And it had a Ford five year warranty.

The big V8s that the green party hate can last a long time but this year's crop of turbocharged 4 bangers are failing way early. Even the hybrids last a long time, I saw a couple Toyota Rav 4,s (non-turbo) last week both with over 200,000 and still asking $8,000.00 for them.

I am old enough that flathead fords were the car of choice, the small block Chevy came out when I was a junior in High School.
