I think it would be one badass set up. I would stay away from heavy pulling. I had a friend that did that setup. It lasted about a week before he ripped the frame in half at the Truck Pulls. Too much torque with not enough frame support.

i was planning on putting big braces on the frame with large sub frame connectors for drag racing;i also thought about a 427 stroker off a 351 windsor,my dad has a 66 mustang with one and it runs an 8 second in the quarter

If ya can manage the weight and and frame work the only other problem u might run into would be room esp if u want a twin turbo setup. I'm not a ford mechanic but I heard the turbo for the 6.0's are under the cab, Im not sure though. If you can figure all that out you will have one badass truck.
