Taking bets(no money involved) How long will this engine last?

And the FE's 'leaky'.

I'll admit getting the china rail to seal properly can be a pain. If you dork it up you get to remove the rockers and pushrods to do it again because some genius at Ford decided having the push rods go THROUGH the intake manifold was a good idea. I was a 3 time loser on that deal... was ready to stuff an oily rag in the fuel filler.. light it and walk away more than once.
Saner thoughts prevailed.
