I'd say 2000 or a Forged rod motor 2001 would be the last of the best... Not too much fun modding a truck with PMR's....

the last of the good ones was the last forged rod 7.3 off the line.

Not sure why everyone thinks the Forged motors are so great, they still don't hold anywhere near the power a stock bottom end 6.0 or 6.4 will. What's a forged rod motor bottom end good for? 450hp?

i think the 6.4 is the best for HP & TQ, but the 7.3 are known to last:humm:

Re: What's the Best Year???
A good running 6.0 is a strong motor bolted to a torqshift trans.

Correct. I wonder how long a 6.4 would last though if it only had to put under 200 horses down to the wheels. :w2: |
i have been on the hunt for a 7.3 at least 2000 and up i really like the look of the fords. Anything to look out for when driving

On a 7.3? Oil pan would be the first thing I look for. They rot out, and the motor must be pulled to replace it. I've seen some cut crossmembers out of the frame to do it, but that's seems dangerous to me. Look for a forged rod motor. Do some searching around and you can find out which motors had these and which had the PMR's. |
