Only 1 time surprisingly--an old drunk Cowboy in a bar (who as i found out breeds bulls for a living $$$$$) made me a $12,000 offer on Last Valetines day but I didnt call him the following weekend for fear of him actually providing the cash lol I have however been cut off and stopped dead in traffic for people to take pictures.

Factory 391FT 4bbl, 4 speed with drum parking brake, 2 speed rear end, sitting on 10" lift blocks front and rear, death wobble as slow as 10MPH, top speed 40MPH, two giant side fuel tanks, rear cab tank, rear frame rail tank, roll bar fuel tank, four locking tool boxes on bed, 4 receiver hitch holes built into bed, 5th wheel pin style on bed. Power steering, dual battery. I won one car show at a monster truck event, crowd pleased in a classic car parade, and showed up to a car show 4 hours late and still almost won by vote haha
future plans- 2 ton 9" style 4x4 axles, and a power stroke 7.3 turbo automatic
to use as a tow rig for my 79 Monster Truck.

The late 97 blocks are the heaviest cast of the 7.3 blocks and came with factory forged rods; however, they had smaller injectors with no factory IC or electric fuel.
If you want the simplest 7.3 swap get a late 99-03 engine. They created more factory HP and already had electric fuel, an IC, higher output HPOP, and larger injectors.
Just my .02
edit: also the 94-97 E40D automatic transmissions aren't as stout as the 99-03 4R100s.
Neither were SUPER strong from the factory, but the 4R100s definately are better of the two in factory form.

does anyone have a 2wd crew cab with a 300 six in it that would be willing to measure the height of there frame perches? i just pulled my 390 and put a 300 in my 74 crew cab and i cant get the mounts to line up. i thought it would be the same perches just moved forward but the forward set of holes is still to far back and the motor looks like it may sit a little bit to high. the mounts are sitting flat on the perches right now but the bolts are in front of the perches.
