Very, very nice....
I have a Toyota V8 in mine and they are very wide.
Space for the exhaust may be your main drama - go to a good exhaust guy...

What is that out of?
The Power Stroke is the go, lots of hot up bits available. The 6.0 is the better motor, stronger than the 7.3l.

I thought all the current F'series where all 4x4. As for the 4.2. That line has been dropped. Much to the disapointment of some owners, as that engine worked better for them than the bigger 7.3
