just remember, the ford logo is a blue oval with a silver outline around it. ( they circled the problem)

My DAD got 280,000 miles out of his '78 ranchero Before rebuilding the engine and trans. I think that it was over 380,000 when he sold it

My mom had a '86 mustang that my brother was giving 10 years later. @
260,000 he swapped the intake and dropped a washer down #7 it ran one more day after that.

Just remember, this is a fan-boy site for an engine that has a magnesium case, cast-iron cylinders,aluminum pistons and heads, and is held together with cro-moly bolts. just think of the heat expansion ratios involved.
