    New 351w engine not running well.

    I just put my 351w in my truck a few days ago and its still running like crap. Im suspecting a vacuum leak, computer issue, clogged cat, or timing issue. - Vacuum leak - I used Black RTV to make my upper intake gasket because summit sent me one for a 5.0. Is this asking for a vacuum leak...

    egr or not?

    but if it normally goes to the exhaust manifold, whats the difference of moving it "downstream" 2 feet or so? Won't the gases be the same?

    Lifespan of 5.0L engine?

    my 5.0 in my truck just crapped out on me a 160,000 i got the truck with 142,000. I think its from getting water in the cylinders. And the oil pump died on me. 302s under normal conditions can make it past 200,000 no prob.
