[QUOTE=DirtyLarry;4207372]Sarge,

You would be crazy to install a Navistar 6.0L engine in anything other than a junk pile. 99% of the 6.0L VT365 (Powerstoke) engines give the rest a bad name. I can freely say that as I work for Navistar.

I dont know, my 6.0 has been real reliable and its been modded. I think the 6.0 is a great power plant, but I think the Ford techs that work on them caused most of the issues. My 06 has 63k on it and its been in the shop about 5 times in all that time. 1 time was caused by me.

Thats a debate for another pace and time though. We all like what we like and thats what makes the world do circles.

At any rate. I will stick with the TBI 350 I have from my 87, maybe do soame upgardes to it, and later down the road do something else.

I will say this though, IO red every post you make and your trucks have been my inspration.
