Probably a dumb question, but here it is anyway... Are most of the engine failures on a regular 350 vs the R model? I know the engine is the same, but I rarely heard of an R's needing an engine replaced. My R started eating about .25L per 200-300miles. I have since traded the car in, but i'm just curious, in general.

I believe 1qt every thousand is considered normal for these cars so why trade it in?
Why it's a great motor, obviously with some exceptions. But those that have no issues like myself absolutely love the carIt really is surprising Ford gave the green light for a flat plane engine.

It pushed the boundaries of many mass produced engine criteria's. It barely squeaked into production according to Ford itself.
I get that, I'm just glad Ford tried something different. They could've easily added a few bolt ons to a 5.0 and called it a 350It pushed the boundaries of many mass produced engine criteria's. It barely squeaked into production according to Ford itself.

As with any new engine and build the 1st couple years are always the buyers as beta testers. Nothing new this has been going on for years.you're lucky. Not everyone is in the same boat, as Curt said above, guy had 3 engines in the same car : Stock unit + 2 replacements.
That's ABSURD for what these cars cost....
But then they wouldnt have been able to sell them for 80k plus.I get that, I'm just glad Ford tried something different. They could've easily added a few bolt ons to a 5.0 and called it a 350
