My first Ford truck was an I-6. A resurrected delivery truck. Got it at 150K miles. Sold it still running at 278K miles. Only engine work done was replacing a small shaft that drove the oil pump.

but as far as a project truck id get a 429 and build the **** out of it!

I am eventually going to make my current 88 f150 into a muddin truck and when I do I am probably going to get a built 460 put in it

Yeaaa the 429 kicks ***, and there pretty easy to find and build up. That's would be a great pre runner motor!
