Wish upon a star.

[Curious Hound]

Wandering the junk yard this afternoon. Found an 88 F150 with 300CI straight 6, manual trans, electric t-case and manual hubs on the front axle. Nearly all of that stuff intact. Would be great for a project stash if I had the time and money to harvest it.

Bench seat, too. I actually liked the bench srat in my 88. It was useful and a lot better when carrying a dog.

That’s a pretty decent combo. I prefer the manual t-case though and ZF5 transmission

Been looking for similar for a couple years now. Really want to find a OBS extended cab 150 or 250 manual everything for a daily.

Saw a 300 in a dusenberg a few years ago with chopped 460 heads on it. Inspired the idea.

A 300CI straight 6 in the junk yard? I thought those things ran forever.

Maybe the guy died and his widow didn't know any better.

I suppose he parked it there with his last breath. "She ain't gettin' nothin!"

I’d like a crew cab long bed OBS F-250. F-350 SRW is also an option

The 300 with 460 heads was a sight to behold. Finally an easy-ish solution for a crossflow head for a 300. Apparently if you shorten performance heads for a 460 to two 3 cyl heads, they bolt on without much issue. IIRC, they were literally JB welded together in the center to prevent oil seepage - it worked.

Yes, and I fully intend to do this when I rebuild my F-150

The one junkyard around here used an F-150 with the 300 that was only running on 5 cylinders for a parts delivery truck for like 3-4 years then as a yard truck for a few more years before it rotted apart

I thought it was the 351C heads that were used for that...
