Yes. They were better. As to what extent depends on the year. Some say that the No 8. was a problem til 2001, for the record most people saying that are trying to sell a truck. My truck has a 99/00 block in it, and over 70K on it, with no problems (JINX). IMO, You'll be fine, just dont go nut with power add ons. The 6.5 in stock form was not ment to be making 350 Hp, with 600 lb/tq. The main issue you could face with a newer block is headgaskets, which do tend to fail. I had mine fixed (both) for under 2K when one went.
