Easier to fix though. Plenty of toys are OK if it's not your daily driver or you have a reliable car as a spare.

I just want a change for once spoil myself, get my Landy but with toys and a big V8 that pulls away from the lights

The 5.0 is known for timing chain guide rails, wearing.

Listen to it.

Make sure it isn't knocking.



Worth noting that the 5.0s injectors are noisy so listen deeper!

My money would be on the 4.2 or 4.4 for utter reliability and power!

The 5.0 isn't bad, just make sure you change the oil regularly, and keep an ear open.

So many are black or silver or white. A bit unimaginative.
