When it comes to buying a car/truck the V-8 is yes a higher priced up grade which it should be due power etc ...etc...
But when it comes to the selling of V-8 engine they are sold by the 1000's for everything from replacement's to being used as crate engine's...A v5 engine is not sold in such large numbers so the cost of building and selling that motor is most likely higher as a unit by its self... its the same for lots of other parts and certain engine's ...Also the after market produce's a lot of V-8's and parts for them so they Have to match and compete with them..
The factory may lose money on one part and make lots on another during the process of selling a complete car,so they have to make it up when they offer the parts as replacements....
