i just bought an 89 f150 4x4 with a fresh 300 inline 6. the truck is a 5 speed and runs great. i have plans for 4 inch lift and 35s in the very near future, and plan on bein in the mud and creeks as much as possible come spring. my question is is the 300 adequate enuff to turn 35s in mud and get me thru fairly ruff areas of the the local creekin place near my home? its fresh with less than 1k miles. i dont wanna swap it unless i have too. most guys i know with similar trucks have 5 liters and 5.8 liters. i wanna be able to keep up with them in rough country lol

Should be more then enough, the 300 six's have good torque to them, or atleast mine did. if you ever need parts i got a whole 2wd f150 just sitting lol.
I drug a worn out stock 300 straight six, 85 f150 swb 4x4 on 40" interco's in 4-low through everything you could imagine for a few years. They aren't fast, but you can pull stumps with em.
You should be fine; invest in a good clutch cause you will be slippin the shit out of it to get your torque.
I have a 86 f150 300 2wd sitting the in driveway right now.

Yeah a clutch is one of the main things you will want to invest in, thats whats out of mine so it just sits now sadly.
ive come to appreciate the 300 over the past couple of weeks. i work for a tow service and in all the bad weather its proved its worth. thanx for the positive comments! the six is here to stay (new clutch n flywheel comin in the spring).
