For decades now it seems like Ford has been pushing hard for van chassis cabs as a replacement for truck chassis cabs. The godzilla certainly helps there with smaller pushrod cylinder heads fitting better in a tight van doghouse. GM has been eating their lunch their as LS/LT motors are just so easy to package in anything. Even on the truck side, PSD maintenance can mean cab off so a small footprint engine helps there. Large displacement means good low RPM torque for PTO applications. Pushrod means no timing maintenance (except I think it still has a cam phaser). No turbos means less heat, better oil life. Gasser means no DPF and SCR. It seems like a fantastic motor for fleet vehicles that dont absolutely need a diesel, and fleet vehicles are important for Ford. In the wake of the 6.0 PSD disaster, it was funny to see a rash of 5.4 trucks grunt and wheeze trying to take it's place. I've seen a bunch of 5.4 tow trucks barely be able to winch a car onto a flatbed.

kastein posted:Normally you would be right about all of that but Godzillas started eating cams and lifters due to cam lobe delamination at 2k to 40k miles. I'm pretty sure it's just low quality parts causing it. I'll add those videos to my watch later list. But I'm guessing that's just a run of the mill quality issue. Every few years it seems like every OE needs to relearn how cam grinding and heat treatment works, or the cringiest of all sometimes how press fit can lobes work. I think I remember the Godzilla having a base circle big enough to make about any factory big block blush, and conservative valve lift should mean low pressure on the cam and lifters. Or maybe I'm conflating that withe FR9. It's been a while since I've looked at the actual numbers, so I'm talking 100% out of my rear end here.

It being a GM, about 90% of all the connectors are going to be some Delphi variation, and probably 100% of the low content ones will be Metripack. A terminal and seal kit and a decent set of crimpers will go a long way. I wouldn't worry about resistance much. I've seen so many repairs with wiring for sensors spliced, crimped, replaced, extended, whatever and I've never seen the repair cause a problem. The tolerances for the sensors are going to be greater than any competent repair.

CAN networks are really resilient. If you stay inside the physical layer design parameters, you will be OK. Even outside those parameters too. I've seen a bunch of bad stuff there too. Too many nodes, too long nodes, too long backbones, too many/few terminating resistors, and stuff still works. I've even seen whole networks without twisted pair. The downside is that once you push it too far, everything falls apart. But a few repair splices will not affect anything.

I guessed the cars before reading your post and came up the same. I thought F body on the left at first before really looking at it.
