FORD 300 6 all day long Hands-down.

[@edb3877]

That's a great engine and I've owned 2 of them. I curse the day I sold my 1984 F-250 with the big six and 4-spd. manual trans. I used it in many ways from hauling a ton of wood pellets, gravel, sand, soil, firewood, bark dust, a couple of household moves, and the occasional appliance home from the stores. It's 4WD was very dependable and in 1st gear and 4WD I used it to help remove a tree stump from my daughter's front yard. In spite of all this work, this engine never complained or balked at getting the job done, whatever it might be. Maintenance was very simple and I did all of that in my own driveway and garage. It got 16-17 mpg, which was about 30% better than a lot of F-250s with the V-8 engines. It was an amazing truck and I always regretted Ford not continuing to develop this engine. I can only imagine how good it would have been with a 4-valve per cylinder aluminum head, fuel injection, headers, hi-performance ignition, and a turbo on it. I've seen pics of a few Ford 300s with a turbo and it really wakes the old girl up. The low end torque was pretty amazing, even without those add-ons.

Year after year he said he wanted it. Much later, he decided he didn't want it. Sooooo, I still have it, and it's parked under a tree, and have been there for years. Poor thing. I just don't have time for it, and it just needs a brake line. Runs great when I parked it.

[@disturbedmaynard3873]

I would go back to my younger days, and say that the Mopar slant 6 and the Mopar 318 should be on this list. And, no engine using a timing belt should be on this list. Worst idea ever to replace the timing chain with a belt.

[@hellhound1389]

Timing belts are easy maintenance. Plus with some manufacturers using lightweight single roller aluminum timing chains the belt so much more reliable. Plus they didn't say the 5.9 V8 is based on the design of the 318/ 5.2 V8. Plus the 3.9 V6 has the same bulletproof design

Age is what's going to take a serious toll and take a lot of those trucks off the road. In the rust belt those trucks are all rusted and usually completely rotted and everywhere else the trucks are becoming clapped and need everything, not to mention when these trucks become high mileage mysterious electrical issues start to happen due to fatigued/chafed wiring and the PCMs are starting to become common to fail as well, not to mention the auto trans those trucks used typically only last around 150-200k so at 400k it's probably on its 2nd or 3rd trans and replacements are becoming hard to find and expensive. They are good trucks but their time is running out as age piles on.

The Ford 300 cubic inch six-cylinder end is unstoppable. I managed truck fleets for many years, these were amazing. The other thing about this motor is its smoothness. In-line six-cylinder engines have an inherent perfect balance due to an equal firing pattern. That along with the seven main bearing crank makes these engines smoother running than any four, V-6, or V-8 engine. I bought a 1989 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat brand-new. It was loaded, but had this six, and a 5-speed manual transmission. I loved that truck.

I had a customer bring in a chrysler in line 6 and a AMC in line 6 to my machine shop so I took the crank and rods out of the mopar put them in the AMC block with new Amc pistons and made a 4.6L and it was rather peppy. He said he read it in a magazine and by god it worked perfectly

[@John-ue9pt]

So true

[@Possumliving]

@@edpetrocelli2633 Lots of people have done that. The reason it works is the 4.0 is not a Chrysler engine; it is an AMC just like the 258 you took the rods and crank out of. Just a shorter stroke and larger bore than the 258.

[@edpetrocelli2633]

@@Possumliving That was the first and last one I did, I did it a long time ago, the results were nice but not as good as the 304 amc jeep I used to own in the 80`s

Had the chevy 4.3 with over 300000 miles. Hated the spider injection though. Also had the ford 300 straight 6 in a 1990 f150. I miss that truck

[@biffsmith3927]

I have three 4.3 vortex in my shop where the counter shaft is sticking outside the block. I haven't dismantled yet, so I'm not sure what caused them to grenade. One came out of a1/2 ton two were in blazers/Jimmy

My Cummins 12V is a million mile engine and it’s sleaved, so it never needs bored. Best engine ever made.

7.3 powerstroke I believe was a international motor 🤔🇺🇲

[@rt2000us]

you are correct, is IH

[@NTATchannelNickTaylor]

Navistar International design. It was labelled Powerstroke for Ford products and Maxxforce7 in International trucks.

I have a 94 F350 7.3L IDI that is a Navistar engine.

@@beno.9958 factory turbo or naturally aspirated? Either way, they were some of the best IDIs.

Mopar 4.0 incline 6 just dont die. Horrible gas mileage but bullet proof.

I liked 4.3 good engine, I now have older gmc with 4.2 inlne engine, another work horse with durability, its over 300 kms running strong

I had a 4.3 v-6 in my 06....67,000 miles later it suffered lifter failure despite oil changes every 3000 miles, and impeccable maintenance

[@brucesamuelson7541]

@r.glenncooper8199 What kind of oil, Penzoil Quaker State or Castorol? That would do it lol but there's always a few engines that will fail due to quality control inferior materials etc

Ford's 300 6 with "only" 7 main bearings. Those 7 mains give it almost bulletproof strength.

My gmc 4.8L just turned 510,000 and still a daily champion

[@jimparker7778]

These are trouble free engines. Most of them did not have variable displacement or variable-cam features. GM engines with those features deserve the grief that has been thrown their way, but the 4.8 LS motors (mostly) didn't have it.
