Question Engine questions
Im getting a 5.0 H.O. with 68000 miles on it for free and there are no problems with it... Would that be better engine for my truck than the original 5.0? Im planning on running the original one until it dies.

The later engine will need a few components swapped onto it, but it will fit. Just remember it has a 351w firing order, not a 302 firing order.
