      I'll take an LS Chevy over any Ford. Torque from velocity. Go back to the 351 and 400m's. Hell the production 351 Windsors were 2 bolt mains. Ford has never made a good V8. A simple 6 bolt main V8 chevy will out last a quad cam or duel cam Ford by years. Chevy;s have better head design and fewer parts. Tranny's are a piss into the wind. I prefer NV4500's but as power increases above 7oo it becomes an issue. Just a 5.3 Chevy with a mild cam will get you 500 hp. A 4 cam Ford needs to work with twice as many parts. Keep it simple keep it long.

Seems to me that you can get a rebuilt battery for it for $1K installed, and could probably find one at a scrapyard too if you had to. Even if you had to replace the rebuilt battery every 18 months it would be well worth it, as little as there is that goes wrong with them.

      ​@Paul Lunsford those are some solidly built and reliable (depending on enormus milage and condition ofc) cars. I wish there, in my country, were much more of those so the parts would be much more available but in reality almost everyone drives diesel vehicle here so folks don't really need such "gas hogs".

    I've had 3 2001 gm trucks in the past 3 years. Suburban, Yukon, and currently a tahoe. Only good thing I can say about them is they drive pretty nice and they just keep going. Other then that they all have the same issues all 3 of them. Odometer gages especially gas gages work intermittently or not at all. Windows always coming off track. Seats seem to rip early on all of them. All 3 of these vehicle the ignition cylander went on them. Ac never worked on any of them except the tahoes worked for the first week I had it. I do love how they drive and how long the engine and trans will just keep going
