289 vs 318 ..... Ford vs Mopar

Actually, I don't recall 289s? They may have differed than 302s. 351s definitely had this issue. That I at least saw?
I've known reliable sources to put over 200k on 289's. I will say this, the Ford cylinder wall will wear to the point (and that point is much sooner than the 318) you'll be using a edge reamer to remove the pistons. No comparison in the cylinder wall, mopar for the easy win.
