'05 Mustang to use SOHC 4.0L V6
#16
I know your post is really old but I had to comment on it it all depends on your driving style really if you treat it right it'll last if you maintain it it'll last I have 280000 miles on my original motor and trans it's never been opened up and it's supercharged these days you can get these motors for a dime a dozen. It is actually an extremely reliable motor if you know what you're doing unfortunately it is an interference motor though.
First, the 4.0 SOHC had teething pains when new. Okay, so do a lot of other engines. But the effort that it takes to fix the rear timing chain just makes me avoid any Ford car (or truck) that has this engine.
I really am glad that your engine has been reliable. I could also have you talk to many more who have not had a reliable 4.0 SOHC.
