need advice

I'm in a bit of a predicament, a couple years ago I picked up a (traded a truck for a truck) 91 RC SB 4wd F150. It has been lifted (6"-8") and SAS by one of the previous owners, it's a decent job; certain things about it I would have done differently but it is what it is. It has the 5.0L V8 with the 5 speed manual. It has 4 matching 35" tires, the body is pretty nice but not perfect. I thought for sure I would have no problem reselling this truck. Until recently it ran decent, some how it got water in #3 and #7 cylinders. I suspect through the intake somehow, I got it running but the engine is definitely hurt. Missing badly and has no power, I'm suspecting a burnt valve or valve seat damaged from the water getting in. I really don't want to put anymore time or money into it. Its a decent truck, I hate to just scrap it; just don't know what to do with it now. I wish I could post up some pictures of it, I don't have the means of doing so. I guess that's what I get for trying to help someone, screwed very frustrated with the whole situation. Any thoughts or suggestions?

i would pull the head and see what is up with those two cylinders.
if it is just the head, a junkyard head would probably make it run on all 8.
