Ecoboost or 5.0 which would you choose?

^ really?? Did you just "read" that or actually search? Not you glc, you beat me to patmans post. I saw many for $25-40 also, but wasn't sure if that was a complete assembly. Either way another lame EcoBoost flame that was proven wrong.

^^^ When will you guys quit using facts on the internet? Personal opinions based on wild speculation and conjecture are the only things allowed! Sure anyone with a dial-up internet connection, a search engine and 2 minutes could find a thousand differences between the Windsor 5.0 and the Coyote 5.0 but who has time for all that? Given 2 more minutes of dial up time and you could learn the Duratec series of Ford V6s has been in use since the early 90s but who really wants to use facts when they shoot holes in your conspiracy theories?

Sorry to offend you Mr JDeacon. I just found this site and had a legitment question. If you are so bothered by it you could have chosen to just bypass the post and not waste your precious time, or better yet maybe you could have polity referred me to previous threads that might have help me out! JA
Thanks for the warm fuzzy welcome

Why does every EcoBoost/5.0 thread have to turn into pi$$ing match?
And, it seems to me, that the ones doing the pi$$ing are the ones who don't own either a 5.0 or an EB. What's the problem? Are you afraid of new technology? Are you afraid of some lowly V6 taking over for your prized V8? Does it really matter? As long as the truck makes the power and does the job it's supposed to do, who cares how many spark plugs are under the hood! You like the sound of a V8? OK, I'll give you that, but there's no need to bash the EcoBoost, or make up stuff about injector cost. Seriously, when's the last time you've had to replace an injector? Why does the EB have to go 200k+ miles to prove itself, but the 5.0, which came out at the same time, is a good, reliable engine already?
You guys bashing the EB really need to get a grip. Ford has 4 great engines available in the F150. Each one has it's pluses and minuses, and I feel the EB has more pluses than the 5.0. But, hey, I've got no horse in this race...I drive a PowerStroke!
Get used to trucks with V6 engines and EcoBoosting...it's here to stay. In 15 years, if you can still by a half ton truck with an engine larger than 4.5 litres, I will be extremely surprised.
