[QUOTE="Shawn White, post: 999258, member: 70197"] I've been researching both motors since they first came out, I test drove the eco and it was pretty nice, but I went with the 5.0 after hearing about issues with the intercooler developing condensation. With all the new tech in that engine I figured I'd give them a few years to work out the bugs. I found this article for the Mustang 5.0, the F-150 motor has slightly different heads, exhaust manifolds, and cam timing, and a few others to get the torque profile required for a truck. After reading this article I was sold on the 5.0, looks like it was over designed to be boosted in the future and made ready for direct injection. I talked to the sales man and they said they still have a ton of customers wanting a mid size truck. I'd like to see a Trac or Ranger with the 3.5 eco, that would be an awesome SVT platform to play with. [/QUOTE]
