It doesn't seem to survive abuse and neglect quite as well as the 5.2 and 318.
It is overshadowed by the 5.7 in larger vehicles.

Shopping used vehicles, personally it seems every time I have found what seemed like a deal on a vehicle with one,
most of them either needed a timing chain related repair, or already had it replaced incorrectly and were throwing codes.
The others that were even less expensive didn't have a timing chain issue had blown head gasket, cracked head, cracked block type of issues.
