The ford mod v8 and v10 have got to be the best engines ever. Rock rock solid.

I worked on the 2000s Excursions.

The Vehicles were great.

One with a turbo-Diesel would be a good find.

The V-8 gas was slow and the V-10 a gas guzzler.

Over the last 7 years I’ve had a series of F-150s with the eco-boost engines. [first a 2.7 and then 2 3.5s]

Often I get over 20 mpg and have 350 to 400 hp on tap, even at 4000’ Altitude.

To date the ones I’ve had get replaced at relatively low miles, so I don’t know about aged engines.

Except for when they spit out their spark plugs, aluminum head threads and all.
