Yeah, they were solid except for the well known camshaft sprocket problem. You can have them welded cheap and have a motor good for MANY miles. A new version of this motor is being used in some of the Volvo S80 AWD only. Check out the reliability of those. Even though the bigwigs will tell you otherwise, coming from a former ford employee, this motor is essentially a revived sho motor.
