They were great engines. Huge amount of torque. My father had a 79 F-150 with the 300 6 and that was a 4 wheeling demon. If he hadn't rolled it I doubt he would have ever let it go.
You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!
I did research on that engine many moons ago and found If you paid attention to the torque curve and redline on a tach you could do amazing things with that little 6.

That 300 was a stroked 240 ( cant remember exactly) They probably will keep the quarter inch plug threads and add chevys belt driven oil pump behind the transmission and dodges fiber head gaskets.
It has been said that when the world comes to an end there will be two things remaining after all other things disappear. The first is the cockroach and the second is the Ford 300 cid straight 6.

I had a 96 F150 single cab 4x4 with a 5spd, manual hubs, vinyl floors, limited slip at both ends, and the 300 I-6. Was the last year for the 300. Bet that truck is still working somewhere .

I wouldn't bet against you.

I had a 79 f-150 4wd with the 4.9 (300) 6 cyl for 11 years sold it at 183k loved that truck the 6cyl torque would pull you thru most bad places pretty good. Had 2 85 2wd's with the same 6 drove them and sold them for more than I paid , very few problems. Then bought a 86 f-150 4 wd same creeper gear 4 spd as the 79 ran it and made money again was getting addicted to being paid to drive them. The last was a 1987 f-150 with a creeper gear 4 spd and fuel injected 300 6 bought it at 94 k and ran it until it had 195k on it and peddled it. Allways thought that if a guy could have put that fuel injected 300 six in that old 79 f-150 it would have been the absolute tits for a working truck. Only other improvement on that would be getting rid of that front loader rear differential with the weak sister 31 spline axles. Mb

Yep, huge torque, 265 ft-lbs with the FI models, but the the 2.3 4cyl Ecobeast only makes 350 ft-lbs.
I don't think Ford will touch the inline six again when the 3.5 Ecobeast is at or near 500 ft-lbs.
