What size engine do you have in your truck?

All,

Just curious what size engine you all have in your Ford trucks?

Thank you

Patrick

Ive developed a knock in my 460 BB. Had it rebuilt almost 20 years ago. Ive always thought it was cool to have a 460 BB. Tough motor. Parts everywhere....But Ive never been a fan of 8-10 miles to the gallon, or whatever I get. I kinda wish I woulda changed it to a 302 or a 351, but the 460 came with it when I bought it. So Im contemplating( probably wont happen ) switching to a 302 or something.

Currently a 347 Stroker (Ford crate motor). 360 HP and 400 lbs of torque. 15 smiles to the gallon. It does lack the blub, blub, blub exhaust note of a big block. I had a 302 before the 347 and it wasn't quite enough power for my taste. When I hit the lotto, I think a Coyote would be nice.

Currently, nothing between the rails. I know it's frowned upon, but since I plan on holding on to the truck, I will be putting in the 327 I built with my father. I had been saving it for something that I planned on keeping. If I build another Ford, I'm going to go with a 289, aftermarket aluminum heads, and roller cam conversion. I know I could just grab a factory roller 302/351, but I always loved those 289s.
