Best V8 Engine Out There?

Our last dodge product wasn't very impressive, had power steering leak, transmission cooler leak and fender trim falling off at 100k.
My diesel maintenance isn't much more than my 09 Ford with synthetic oil was.
Steve243 had a post a week or so ago where he picked up a Nissan Titan XD for 38k. Gas engine pickups cant hardly get down to that kinda price.
Otherwise, Chevy 5.3 ( my 2014 Chevy already has paint blistering from rust just above windshield on cab) dealer says looks like rock chips even though the spots are space out evenly every10" all the way across. Ford 5.0 my mom and dad has around 130k on theirs and averages about 18-20mpg.

If they are so great people would use them.
I had great luck with my 5.3. It went well over 270,000 before I sold it. It's a tough engine to beat. Especially the older ones that dont shut down cylinders for fuel efficiency.
COYOTE SWAP THE WORLD!
Sorry, I love my Ford's

You have to remember that matted to all these motors will be a tranny. The older 6 speed GM used and the 8 speed ZF on the Ram are light years better and more reliable than the trans on the fords or the newer GM 8 speeds. Also, If you go new Ford or GM don't touch that 10 speed till its been around the block a bit and all the kinks are worked out.

Do some reading on the 5.3 with cylinder deactivation, may change your mind wanting one.
