Idk what the big deal is... I've scrapped out a many a "good" pickups. I bought them, took the stuff off I wanted, sold some other parts, and scrapped the unusable stuff. Usually I come out ahead on $ and have a stack of parts left over. (Currently scrapping a 92F350 crew with a 7.3 and a service bed, all that's wrong is the motor is shot)
If its in pieces, sometimes its just not worth trying to fix/restore it.

straight 6's are inferior in my world. If it can't make power, it will not be concidered. 
so... No, no straight 6 going in any of my trucks... Ever...

TexasGuy , I agree with ya on that.
1987 - 1996 F-Series, That all you guy's have are sharp and Ford Tough... IMO, the best lookin years and with a little TLC still best and hardest workin trucks out there

If a 300-6 won't get out of it's own way, then it's not running right.
I have a '94 F150 4.9L with E4OD Aaand
A '94.5 Lincoln Continental with a 4.6l and unknown tranny.
For the same getup and go? Yup.
Can the 4.9l scream to the 6,000RPM that the 4.6l can? Nope.
Can the 4.6l tow? Not as well as the 4.9l
If I had to pick? the 4.9l would be in the car as well the truck.

I had a 93 2wd reg cab long bed with 4.9 5sp , bought it new , so there were no problems with it , i used it for work and to tow a 21ft center console boat , it hauls the loads fine but the thing i didn't like was on the hwy at 60 mph , try to pass some one , the throttle responce is allmost nothing , compared to the 95 302 i used to tow the boat with , thats why i say they won't get out of there own way , but thats me , i just don't like slow...Lew
