I have a 1983 F150 4x4 with a inline 6 cyl engine and manual trans. It has recently started getting water in the engine but still runs good. This gives me a good excuse to put in a bigger engine. This will be my first engine swap in a truck so I would like to keep away from a lot of custom fab work. What is a good engine to replace this one with? Thank you

 

telling us what you plan to do with the truck will help. ie muddin, towing, gas mileage, etc...

 

My goal is to be able to turn 40's easily. the truck will be my daily driver and weekend trail rig. Thanks
