@PINski1015 You know if height's the issue I bet a 3 inch lift or so and some semi tires about 40 inches tall would give you plenty of room to mount the engine lower, and if that didn't work maybe a couple more inches would. And if you were really dead set on a 7.8 F-series and had the tools you could make a sheet metal pan to fit with less height and more width to compensate, and that can add plenty of space. Just some possibilities.

Looks like a giant 300

Funny you mention that, because this engine series(6.6 and 7.8) was designed back in the 60s, right about the same time the 300 came out. Just didnt make it into trucks until the mid 80s.

Would a 6.6/7.8 work good and be doable as a pick up swap?

The 6.6 would be a better one in a pickup. The 7.8 is just too tall for a pickup. I'm making plans on putting a 6.6 in my 67 F100. All Ford power!
It's made by New Holland in Brazil, but says Ford on the valve cover.

how would that motor do in a 1989 ford f750 with a 6 speed standard transmission AND pulling a 5 car hauler trailer? A guy I know has one and he's selling it..and I'm interested. Also, are parts (rods and main bearings, injector pumps, ect) still available for them?

They actually do pretty well. If it's not intercooled, you should deduct a little from the price. That plays a big role in the power, and being able to use it all. All the regular hard parts are available from a NewHolland tractor dealer. Belts & hoses & filters, you can still get at napa. Performance parts can be found too, mostly used though. These trucks have been super cheap in the last year or so, so watch prices! Carry an extra set of belts, and you'll be fine.
