Older fire trucks and similar sized large trucks. The big question is WHY you want to put one in a F250. There are no speed parts available and they top out at about 3K, rpm wise. They weigh in the neighborhood of 1300 pounds and Ford made these obsolete for a reason. You are better off performance wise to stroke a 460.

You'll go faster if you put a 289 2V in your truck.....
