There seems to be a lot of those engines available. If you are going to go to the trouble, I'd bide my time and try to get a nice one. I have a 240 in my current truck and it seems like it has all the power for what I use it for. I used to have an F250 with a 300 and COM. That truck was a dog! I blame it more on the 3/4 chassis and the COM than the motor.
