[QUOTE="tomshep, post: 12121137, member: 8203"] As far as the emissions, there was some sort of a loophole that allowed Ford to submit the 5.8 as a larger 5.0. Same motor, same design, same architecture, just more displacement. This saved Ford a ton of $$$ in getting it certified and also sped up the process. The rumor has always been the marine block was of better metal. I have one sitting in my shop and it was purchased from Roush on a crate a few years ago. It is a full marine motor, brand new, never ran. It has GT heads, full shortblock with oil, no rockers but valvetrain is complete and cast iron GT40 lower intake. I have not taken the intake off to confirm if there is a cam or lifters in it. Tom [/QUOTE]
