- hemi 5.7
I get both sides of the discussion here, but I've actually read or watched that more than once; that many Ford mechanics/builders prefer the 5.0 for longevity/durability reasons. The EB has some flaws, one of them being (IIRC) stretched timing chains?. Not even sure anymore, but recently the 5.0 also had some problems like in 2018 or 2019 so who really knows.
All I know is that I'm less than impressed with my hemi in both quality and power output. I teased @tidefan1967 in this very thread as well but I'll be the first to admit he might have made the wise decision, is the 3.5 really that worse (durability) than the hemi? I have my doubts.
