650-700hp can be reliable, relatively speaking. There will be preventive maintenance involved, since the more you ask of an engine the more attention it will need. Example: at one end of the extreme, a passenger car engine might last 100,000 miles with little more than tune-ups...while at the other end of the extreme a 7000 hp nitro funny car will need it's engine rebuilt after being run hard for just a 1000-foot pass. Your engine would fall somewhere in between these two extremes.

Why do you want to put 700 hp in a 4x4 truck? I have an idea of what might work well in your vehicle, but it really depends on how it is used....a mud truck, a pulling truck, a crawling truck, etc. 700hp from a Ford will have ridiculous torque and probably more torque than 99% of the members of this Forum has ever experienced. If it must be turn-key reliable and run on pump gas, you might consider a lesser build and I'll bet you'd be more than happy with what you truck is capable of doing...so what's the application?
