Alright, here are just some basic questions I would like answered that seem to vary, so I figured I'd go to the best source, the people who have the car.
A lot of the 5.0's around my area (Jacksonville, FL) have 130k or more miles on them. Exactly how long can this motor stand up to high miles? Would it be a better choice just to purchase a high mileage vehicle and begin planning a mild crate motor swap? My questions are how long does the engine, the transmission (most likely the t5), axles and electrical system hold up. Is there any particular part of the motor that usually causes failure (other than the radiator)? Thanks for all of your help
