1973-1979 Ford F 100 Pickup Truck​ Engine

Description

The 1973-1979 Ford F 100 Pickup Truck​ Engine lineup produced both power and durability, and it was the all-purpose pickup truck you could ever need. These years of the F-100 improved performance and design, cementing it as one of the most reliable trucks of the era. 

The options featured the 3.9L I6, a reliable light-duty powerplant that provided 150 horsepower. If you were in need of some added muscle, the 1973-1979 Ford F 100 Pickup Truck​ Engine 4.2L V8 delivered 160 horsepower, which was enough for towing and hauling. The 4.7L V8 produced 200 horsepower and was the perfect combination of economy and performance for all-purpose driving. The 5.8L V8 (250 HP) served heavier applications, and the 6.4L V8 (275 HP) was best for heavy-duty and harsh environments. 

In fact, the vintage F-100 came with a range of manual and automatic transmissions so that you could pick whatever powertrain was best suited to you. Its rough build and higher-end features, such as available power steering and sportier suspensions, made it more durable and comfortable to drive. 

Older engines including the 3.9L I6, 4.2L V8, 4.7L V8, 5.8L V8, and 6.4L V8 are still very in demand for rebuilding or repairing the 1973-1979 Ford F-100 Pickup Truck and keeping it alive as a reliable and powerful vehicle.
