nope, 460 with a 4 speed. It gets 5 mpg but just wont stop runnin.
I got a deisel to put in for the mpg gain, but then found out how much the parts cost for them. So i will keep the big block gasser.
I like them better any way.

lol, yes you made it clear that you are in love with Detroit's.
The PO put a hotter cam and bored it to 490, the egr is off.
It is mostly stock. Has duel pipes, not sure if that was stock.
I think the headers are stock.

Been having some trouble getting this forum to load this evening.....I couldn't even get it to load at all for a couple hours. When it would load, it'd only do so partially, and only some images would show up. But now it works, what do ya know.
I've wondered lately how a 4.0L I6 from a Jeep (Cherokee, for example) would do in an 80s F-150. Of course, the truck is a solid 1,000 pounds heavier than a Cherokee, but I bet it'd stack up against the Ford 4.9 Six pretty good.
