this year. The reason I know they are very strong cause they are raced and stock engines are making 700 hp with modifications and staying together..

This isn't proof the engines would do well in a truck for years and years. Race engines are regularly torn down and rebuilt. They usually have different oiling systems, sturdier internals, etc.
the ecoboost V6 is already a proven engine, since it has been in the taurus sho now for a year. and the base motor for the new F150 is NOT the 5.0 but rather a non turbo version of the ecoboost V6. as for real world fuel economy for the ecoboost V6, a member on another board took a test drive in one, and the computer indicated an average fuel economy of 25mpg.
The base V6 is NOT a non-turbo version of the Ecoboost V6. The base is a 3.7L V6, a newer version of the Duratec V6s Ford and Mazda have used for years. The bore and stroke are different from the 3.5L Ecoboost engine.

i wouldnt be concerned with the durability of the coyote engine as it is loosely based on the 4.6 mod motor, and that engine has a solid reliability record.

I understand what you wrote. A modified stock engine "stayin together" is a good piece of data on a small scale. But it doesn't prove the engine will last a long time in the hands of ordinary consumers who aren't so meticulous about their vehicles.

actually its a wonderful way to see how a motor will fare over time.. You stress an engine racing it and you will see parts that will fail. No parts failure means a stock motor will last quite a long time
