I was so close to putting an 1160 (early 3208) in mine but the idi is cheaper a lot lighter and they're real close on power. The 3208na is only 225hp at 636cid

Had a turbo 3208 in a F600 service truck and it was a turd. Can't imagine it being much different in an F250. I think I'd still rather have an IDI in one. Or a "C" word

Even if they got half of the $6K they're asking, its still too much money.

We have the na 1160 in a f8000. Its no speed demon but hits the scales at 50k + all the time. waaaay better than the 300 big cam we sold. Id say comparable to any 80s heavy truck as far as power, but we call it the "little diesel" for a reason.

Still though cool truck id say 2k or 2500 maybe for the shape its in. Cats sound awesome

Love the "Stars and Bars". Ya can't beat that. That is one hoss engine. I can't imagine his fuel bill. How much power do y'all think that thing could wrench out?
