In 2003, I scrapped the truck, but I sold the engine at a parts meet for a hundred dollars. It had the mechanic fuel pump. The later sixes with EFI were going for a little more money at the time.

Congratulations on keeping your F-150 on the road!

My daily driver is a 92 Ford F150 Custom. 4.9 Liter straight six. The Asplundh Tree engine. Lochloosa May 14 #1

Our local Asplundh service has wood chippers that have Ford 300 cid six cylinder engines. Is that what you mean? FadedMullet May 14 #2

Yep....Ford made them for the chippers before they put them in trucks. Lochloosa May 14 #4

Thanks. It's fun to drive. And the engine purrs. Lochloosa May 14 #5

If I could find a vintage truck with the power train of my old one. . . John1956PA May 14 #6
