Yup. Simplicity and reliability go hand in hand though. If I wanted high rev and hp I might consider OHC but in a truck application it just seems unnecessary. Plus the amount of chains, tensioners, guides, valve components that will all wear out in less time. The guides are plastic. Plastic! Lol

There's a difference now though. The older F150s were bullet proof. The old FI 302 and 351 couldn't be stopped. The chevy 350 was just mediocre at best. Then came the Ford ohc 4.6L, and Chevy introduced the LS platform motors. Simplistic in design and bullet proof. Sorry Charlie but that OHC Ford motor shouldn't be in a pickup. I still believe that a truck motor should have pushrods. Lol

The LS motors took care of that though. Really is a great design until they started killing cylinders for fuel mileage(what a mistake). The bottom ends are pretty indestructible. Never seen a bent pushrod in one. Couple broke valves because they just started using cheap valves. Almost zero oil leaks. Really did hit the mark with the LS.

Ford V8's are on Ward's 10 best several times. Particularly the 4.63V.
Whereas GM V8's are pretty spotty. LS1 made it 1 yr. pfft
