I had a half-ton with a 300, 4 speed and 3.73 gears in the rear. That truck refused to die. At 300,000 miles I sold it and it still did not smoke and ran as strong as ever. It would always pull anything I asked it to and would run in the hills with the V-8 pickups and burn a heck of a lot less gas. That engine makes good torque but doesn’t quite have the scat that the V-8’s do, but once you get it going it will do the job very well.
In my opinion Ford messed up when they quit using that engine. It was a real good one and would out last the rest of the truck.
As far as price, if it is clean and not all beat up I would say go for it.
