V8 swap would it be worth it over all?

[QUOTE="Andy Chase, post: 816621, member: 66505"] I can tell you from personal experience the 302 5.0 is a very reliable engine except for the cheap starters Ford used in them. My 93 F-150 has a 5.0 w/ 276K on it (i know the whole history, I bought it from my dad which he bought new in 92). I have replaced the alternator at 198K, waterpump (which wasn't completely shot yet) at 240K and added a new distributor at 260K. Otherthan that the engine has been great. I can't personally say about the reliablity fo the 4.0 yet as I've only had mine for less than a year now. [/QUOTE]
