To clarify, which 5L are you talking about??? The old skinny block Windsor engine doesn't have much block strength, as others mentioned they crack easily....

However, the new DOHC 5L can do 450 horse quite easily plus get respectable fuel mileage and live quite well at that level

Just wanted to see if we are all talking the same engine....
