Would be a shoe-in for a repower of an older F series I reckon, as long as you enjoy the thought of having a car that behaves like an unguided missile which doesn't steer, stop or turn very well but she hauls ***

The 7.3 is roughly 560 lbs, so pretty close to 351 Windsor.....

You driven a 1970s or 1980s F series before? Doesn't matter whats over the front of it, it still doesn't stop, steer or turn very well, put 450hp in it and it would be great fun on the Kings Way to Westgate Freeway onramp
