Was around 80's idi Fords a bunch, 6.9 and 7.3
Good engines for teens as they had no power. The F350 we used had the 6.9, it was a dually with dump bed. When loaded and towing hay wagons it could barely get up to speed. When empty it could barely do the speed limit. They also had a newer F350 with a 7.3 L non turbo in it, 4wd and quite tall, their son used to drive it. I had a suzuki samurai I had at the time with a 1.3 L motor, carb. The samurai felt like a sports car next to that F350.
I have a F350 now with the 5.4 L that everyone loves to complain about for having no power but I'll tell you it feels like twice the hp of those old idi's.
The other complaint I'll leave about them is they started terrible in the winter. If the truck couldn't be parked in the heated shop during a cold snap we had to leave it running. I'd bet there are some spells it ran for a couple of weeks straight.
