the 5.0 will outlast the body

look at the unibody, rear hatch/trunk

i found out the hard way that my car had been garaged and undriven for a while, and the tank rotted out at the top.

nothings perfect

all american v8's generally can last for nearly forever with basic mainteneace...there are plenty of american cars from the 70's that run perfectly fine wihtout having any major rebuilds. around my town..all imports are newer and there are barely any from the 80's left anymore.

I might think twice if it has..............1 billion miles! Screw the miles and buy what you want! Hell, they are rebuildable at a resonable $$$$$$$$$
