I thought the later 4.0 v8 with the more tubular looking inlet was ok, didn't have the problems the early p38 4.0 and 4.6's had??

You could argue that as the tooling got worn, the problems actually got worse with the later engines.
Weren't all the blocks inspected and the better ones put into into 4.6s? Didn't seem to stop the problems though.
There are good blocks out there, just hard to tell.
