Yeah, that's not even the appearance of "security"
I like the key code locks where you have to punch a code to get in. Most are defeatable with a pocket knife, credit card, scrap of plastic sheet torn from a package..
Anyway my original reason for replying was just how odd that Ford engine looks to me. I'm so used to SBC's and BBC's and the occasional LS and Hemi, for some reason that Ford just looks alien. I mean I know its a somewhat modern American V8 but it just looks weird. I'm glad I don't have to work on them.
When my wife and I first got back together after 10 years of lost contact - (we weren't married before but had been in a relationship when we were much younger and had parted amicably, stayed good friends until I did a series of out-of-state moves and we lost track) ... she was driving a Ford Explorer with the 5.0 V8. Every single time I had to work on that thing I swore I wanted to push it out into the street and set it on fire. Eventually we sold it and I had her driving my black '94 C2500LD (which she absolutely loved) then I replaced that with the Magnum SRT8 and eventually the Silverado SS she has now. Never heard her say a word about missing that POS Ford.

That Ford 5.4 engine is an overhead cam engine with VVT. What failed on that old engine, is both of the hydraulic chain tensioners, located toward the top of each side, had sprang oil leaks and that had caused oil pressure starvation to first one camshaft and then the other and the resulting damage caused lots of noises.
As we/I put this together, the owner has bought new, mostly from Motorcraft, radiator, condenser, transmission cooler and lines and reman transmission, motor and transmission mounts, intake, throttle body, accumulator, plugs that came with the engine, ignition coils.....etc. He spent an extra $2500 at RA.
