I wouldn't put it in a Ford, I'd put it in a Kaiser Jeep 
Seriously though, if I ever get the chance, I am going to put together a Kaiser Jeep (or J-Series truck if I can't find the Kaiser version) and it's going to have a Detroit. Probably a 6V53T if I can find one.
It'll be fun to pull up to lights next to Cummins Dodge trucks and let 'em have a listen to how a diesel oughta sound.
Now if I were planning an engine swap for a Ford, I'd be looking at a 4.0L I6 out of a Jeep...those are tough little motors that get decent mileage. I've wondered how it'd handle being in a pickup...

So you will soon no longer have a ford truck? That sucks.
How much longer should I wait before I start Christmas shopping?
I have not started yet and I am wondering how much longer before it comes back to bite me.... I procrastinate so bad.

I usually go 2-3 days after. Less crowds and lots of deals. Anybody that knows me isn't surprised by the late presents. Lets you seperate your stuff from the flurry ,too.
Of course if it's your wife or kids, that doesn't work.

The way I see it is:
1 go tomorrow.
2 is walmart open at 2am on Christmas morning?
3 what would the fall out be if I skipped it this year?
I have been telling myself that for 3 weeks and I think that it is not true anymore.lol
I think I will have to go with #1.
