Best six ever in a pickup truck. But most torque? Almost... International had an engine that could come as both a diesel and a gas. They had a gas one in a road grater up at the city and that bastard broke one of those big ass axle shafts..
@@chrish1695 it's not that slow. I daily drive a '74 F-250 Ranger SuperCab. 8100 pounds. 300 keeps up with traffic no problem. Does 60 all day long. If you are referring to the quarter mile then yes. But if we went by things that would lose the quarter mile, most manufactures would have long since gone out of business.
Those Ford inline 6 cylinders (300ci I think) are notorious for pulling - used to have them on the farm as work trucks - they could pull huge tree stumps out of the ground where some back hoes couldn't.
The 240 was it's baby brother, discontinued about 20 years before the 300. Just saying for those who might not know. I daily a 300, not bad on gas, considering my truck weighs 8100 pounds, and it's got torque into the next county
grand total of a whopping 87 horsepower, but all the torque, i bought a rusted out f150 that was on its last legs with the intention of beating on that motor till it blew up and it has yet to blow up 😂😂
Been a Chevy man my whole life, with the exception of this engine. Dad bought one because we needed a truck and the price was right, and I would own another one in a heartbeat. Not fast, but pulled anything we ever hooked to it.
Well yeah. Ford designed them for tractors, but were too much for then N series. 300 foot pound of torque at 2300 rpm. I'm not saying it could outpull a 5.9 cummins, but it could easily keep up
Guy was drag racing inline 6 in the 70's. They fined him for cheating even though they couldn't find how. 300 can eat a 350 alive on the track. 6 one barrel carbs.
i stand by chevy 110%. but the best ford motor is a 300.ive had a few of them. most bulletproof motors ive owned. if you keep the body of the ford good it will last a lifetime
Always an issue with those square bodies, but the fords I think are the ones I've seen the worst on across the board. Rust, rust, rust. You gotta keep em right clean.
@@trentonemerson9149 Maybe so, but really depends on where it sat, where it was driven, and if there was any rust on it beforehand. Although granted I see it mostly on the body and such, you don't have so much compromisation on the frame.
They used to put those old 300 Inline 6s in dump trucks because they make so much low end torque. I personally wanna see this beast go up against a 460 big block or even a 454 Chevy (or better yet both 😁)
With geared timing, very so reliable, the inline 6 for put out it is one of the best engines ever, I just got a 1986 Ford pickup with that engine and it's awesome.
I got a 1996 ford f150 inline 6 4.9 and I heard there really good at pulling my maintenance guy that’s working on it right now says he pulled a 18 wheeler out before got the truck 2,300 great deal and 143kmils
while i agree the ford I6 is a damn solid engine, and can be made even better, putting out more power and using the same fuel, and being much more lively on the road, the key here looked like the lack of pulling experience. once that smoke started rolling on that chevy, hammer down on the ford, that hot rubber on the chevy wouldnt give any bite, ive used the same tactic on a ford hi boy with a really mile 68 ford 390 build put into the hi boy, and the 454 i pulled had to be more powerful. it was a vortec and it ran great. i let those tires get hot and dagged him a couple hundred feet. i never broke traction. we were both running 33 12.50 tires on different rims and mine were out of manufacture and half gone. i took out the front drive shaft and the rear axle needed to be adjusted on the chevy. had i kept going, im sure the t case woulda gone next. i had a weaker design t case with my np203 but better crawl ratio. he had a 5 speed with creeper gear, i had a C6. but we were pulling in 4hi. i did have lockers on both axles stock, and both were dana 60's. whats a lot of fun is seeing the early datsun and nissans play at a county fair track lol.
The engine is not the dominate factor here. If that ford has the creeper 1st gear it should have won that war hands down. You drop the clutch and put it to the floor.Tires are another big deal.
That body style came with an M5ODR2 transmission made for really light duty. First gear isn't much if any lower than it would be in a car. If they pulled for a long time I wouldn't be surprised if the transmission gave out before the clutch if it was a good one. The heavy duty ZF5 came in F250HD and up
@@brandonbridges8963 I couldn't see the front end but ford starting in 87 till 93 had both a 5 speed and a 4 speed in their f150s. 92 was the last yr for the 4 speed. I have only saw one 92 f150 that had a 4 speed. I almost bought a 90 f150 302 4 speed for the tranny. Was going to put the 4 speed in my 87 and get rid of the c6 auto.
Yes, had it had the Borg Warner with the 6.71:1 granny gear. (I think that's the ratio) then it would have pulled all day. But I'm pretty sure this one has the Mazda 4 speed with O/D
@@Quint1836 sometimes it’s just who’s behind the wheel. Them 5speeds manual are great transmissions also. The 1st gear in that 5 speed is very low. Something does not add up here. The tires break loose or front end will lift before that clutch slips.
The thing about pulling, the truck with the most power may not win , it’s all about weight. Generally the heavier a vehicle is, it will be harder to pull against.

The GMC engines were> 305,351,401,and a huge 472 and they were all V6 engines. My dad owned several during my youth and I can attest to the fact that if that GMC equipped with one of those engines couldn't pull what ever you hitched it to,it would break the clutch,trans or differential trying. My dad ripped three rear ends out of his 63 GMC in less than a year trying to pull extreme loads. Those GMC V6s just didn't quit,that 63 seemed to have no limit of power.

@@dustinsanders2379 My friend I'm a Ford man thru and thru and have owned several 300 sixes two recently as a matter of fact and I do love that engine,but I also grew up around that GMC V6 of several different displacements and believe me they were some kinda torque monsters. Actually those are the only GM built engines I'd be remotely interested in owning anymore. The GMC V6 was nearly a match for the Ford 300 I6 or as close as GM ever got in my opinion. My Daddy had several of both over the years in his truck fleet for his well drilling business. So I've seen both pushed to their limits and beyond many times.
The clutch wasn't burned out. There was water on the truck from rain that day, causing it to smoke/steam when it drained on the manifold and exhaust. I do agree though, Ford did put a week clutch in the 300s
If the tranny was bolted down the day it happened it might have. But the transmission wasn't bolted down during the pull. Truck is still running and has 498,657 miles on the motor
I had 2 94s, 3 95s, and a Z model 96.5. Ford screwed the bunk when they tried to modernize this thing. Bone stock, pre OBDII, PERFECT. That California emissions was the last I owned. Got tired of everything being different. Firing order, EGR, it had EGR tubes from a 5.4 Triton. Stupid little things they should never have done.
No, as in ported heads, stage 2 400 turbo transmission, bored .060 over oil and water ports, full under drive pully system, mass air intake system(JET), mild cam, full Borla exhaust system, forged rods and pistons, and 42 pound fuel injectors.
Weight my friends is a big deal during these tug o wars not so much torque you can have all the torque in the world but if ya ain't got the weight you ain't pullin nothin
Just spinning tires while getting pulled backwards. Tried tugging a F350 V8 with my cammed I6 -- Centerforce clutch, head-work, and everything. Once my wheels spun, it was over. lol
Yep had a 350 in a Silverado I had. Couldn't plow snow in 4 high didn't have the power to move the truck. Had to use 4 low. A buddy had a f150 300 six he could plow in 4 high all day long no problem.
Amen brother,my dad loved both brands but we had to do some major repair on about every small block chevy engine he ever owned. I myself have always been partial to Fords because dad's Ford trucks always were more durable than the Chevy/GMC trucks he owned. I repaired both brands during my 25+ years as a mechanic,but I still prefer a Ford over GM and both of my current vehicles are Fords(2001 F150 Supercrew and a 2005 Freestyle AWD
My daily is an 89 f150. My last daily was a 98 2 door Tahoe with a 350. Still ran strong the day I sold it with 409000 miles. Your arguments are lame and unfounded.
do this again but both trucks got new tires and better drivers... guarantee both trucks will go home on a wrecker as neither were intended for this sort of abuse... honestly i am a ford man i love em cause thats what i had growing up ..ive even had a 300 inline 6 theyre called the big six literally cause its a huge fucking 6 cylinder forgot exactly what the torque numbers were but its like 6lbs less than a 351w in the same r.p.m. range for the average man the inline six will do everything ask of it and never grunt...
Brake holding is an instant loss here, it doesnt matter if you're in a duramax vs a pinto the moment you start moving backwards if your brake lights come on you lost.
Someone should teach the hotshot person in the chevy not to spin his tires like that. he's making them soft and useless by doing so. then the ford with is able to pull it to its death.
heavy_ z71 how did the Ford lose? It held the Chevy at bay with two less cylinders. The Ford 6 ties the Chevy 8, and you want to talk shit in the Ford?
@@dylanclay2741 the guy in the Ford gave up because he thought he smoked his clutch. To me he lost right there. Also displacement matters more than number of cylinders. You do know a 300 straight 6 has pistons 1.5 times the size of most small block v8s right? Gear ratio determines torque so there's that. I have a 92 f150 with 4.9l in it and a 2021 gmc 1500 with a 5.3. The gmc can definitely pull more weight.
@@Quint1836 And? You do know there is more at play than number of cylinders right? Starting with that chevy probably has 3:73 gear ratio and that ford probably has 4:56. Torque matters. And tires matter too. The guy in the Ford actually gave up because he thought he smoked the clutch so the guy in the chevy won anyhow. I have a 92 f150 with a 5sp and 300 straight 6. I also have a 2012 chevy with a 5.3. I generally tow with the Ford and everything else I do with the chevy. The chevy has more power but less low end torque. Not to mention the Ford goes from 0 to 60 in about an hour.
I think the final judgement it simple here; That 300 I6, no matter how torquey, has less displacement and two less cylinders than the Chevy, so considering that and the shitty driver I think the Ford put up a decent fight but it was obvious from the beginning who was gonna win.
+Just Here For The TH-cam Yep the 300 I6. You're comparing a truck that was built to pull/tow to one that wasn't. The Ford held him back and started going forward before he stood on the brakes. I've seen the loads a 94 F150 with the straight six hauled first hand, weight that you should only pull with an F350/F450. And the only part of the truck that protested were the brakes. It was a nursery truck that hauled trailers stacked with BnB, with enough weight in the bed that before hooking up the trailer it was on the bump stops. And it did that weekly for a few years until we got an Isuzu panel truck. It hauled tractors, backhoes, anything that could fit on a 20ft trailer.
+Just Here For The TH-cam the 300 was offered in the f350 because of its pulling capability, but most people got either the 460 or 7.3, in reliability the 7.3 and 300 are on par with each other
Displacement and Cylinders has nothing to do with the torque of the l6 300 and the 350. That Ford would yank the axle off that Chevy if the driver of the ford had dropped that truck in gear and hammered down. The Ford l6 is LEGENDARY for its torque. The 350 is not. Higher RPMs on the 350 will give more HP, however it only then begins to get near the torque of the L6. The L6 doesn't do well at high RPMs (That being the l6 300. The l6 200 - 220 however can yield up to 585 HP when build right). There is a reason that the Ford l6 was used on trucks, buses and tractors for over 30 years. (Also, the Chevy rear end in that particular truck is pure shit).
They can’t move one another which tells you that either the ford slant six is a badass or the Chevy 350 is just weak. At the end of the day I’m still a dodge guy so I’d say that the 350 is just weak as hell and end of story.

I had 2 94s, 3 95s, and a Z model 96.5.
Ford screwed the bunk when they tried to modernize this thing. Bone stock, pre OBDII, PERFECT. That California emissions was the last I owned. Got tired of everything being different. Firing order, EGR, it had EGR tubes from a 5.4 Triton. Stupid little things they should never have done.
I have a 292 out of a c50
The Ford didn't even try he just held his brakes
And the 350 was using his brakes 😂
the whole time.
Built 350 as in exhaust and air intake lol doesn't sound special at all.
No, as in ported heads, stage 2 400 turbo transmission, bored .060 over oil and water ports, full under drive pully system, mass air intake system(JET), mild cam, full Borla exhaust system, forged rods and pistons, and 42 pound fuel injectors.
So basically just rebuilt. Nothing special about that build.
Seth Mullins yep
Lol mild cam? Ported heads? Lol.
Seth Mullins Either way, it got beat by a stock ford inline 6. I don’t see why people try justifying this lol. You can’t beat this engine. Period.
That inline 6 got 3:55 gears by the way
LAMEST "PULL" ever!
Tell the Chevy guy to take his foot off of the brake and you will see what happens
I bet George and Barney each spent a bundle on their truck and neither has ten cents saved for retirement.
Low range pull. Easy on the part numbers
I'm a Ford man
Weight my friends is a big deal during these tug o wars not so much torque you can have all the torque in the world but if ya ain't got the weight you ain't pullin nothin
Just spinning tires while getting pulled backwards. Tried tugging a F350 V8 with my cammed I6 -- Centerforce clutch, head-work, and everything. Once my wheels spun, it was over. lol
I thought those older ford's were light compared to newer trucks.
@@yourwifesboyfriend1948 well also an f350s have straight axle
More like traction
Ford 300 and AMC/Jeep 4.0 are the two greatest engines ever. SBC 350s are good for speed but not for work or longevity.
Wesley Collins you got that right
Yep had a 350 in a Silverado I had. Couldn't plow snow in 4 high didn't have the power to move the truck. Had to use 4 low. A buddy had a f150 300 six he could plow in 4 high all day long no problem.
Amen brother,my dad loved both brands but we had to do some major repair on about every small block chevy engine he ever owned. I myself have always been partial to Fords because dad's Ford trucks always were more durable than the Chevy/GMC trucks he owned. I repaired both brands during my 25+ years as a mechanic,but I still prefer a Ford over GM and both of my current vehicles are Fords(2001 F150 Supercrew and a 2005 Freestyle AWD
My daily is an 89 f150. My last daily was a 98 2 door Tahoe with a 350. Still ran strong the day I sold it with 409000 miles.
Your arguments are lame and unfounded.
I'm a ford guy but the 350 was a good engine.
do this again but both trucks got new tires and better drivers... guarantee both trucks will go home on a wrecker as neither were intended for this sort of abuse... honestly i am a ford man i love em cause thats what i had growing up ..ive even had a 300 inline 6 theyre called the big six literally cause its a huge fucking 6 cylinder forgot exactly what the torque numbers were but its like 6lbs less than a 351w in the same r.p.m. range for the average man the inline six will do everything ask of it and never grunt...
I would love to see a Ford 300 versus a Chevy 292, Ford originally built the ford 300 to compete with the Chevy 292 back In the sixties.
Ford built the 240 six before the 300 and it was a puller also.
And the Chevy 292 would lose to a Ford 250.
Lol wrong. Ford has had the 240, and 300 i6 in the f series since 1952, and the first gen 300/6 was built in 1906
@@republicansareoffendedeasi821 Do you mean to say 240? I've never heard of a Ford 250.
@@olblu8746 no I meant 250 4.1 liter 250 cubic inch straight 6.
Well I mean shit when your .1liter away from being a v8 I'm not surprised them ma got some torqe
It’s not .1 liter away, it is 2 cubic inches away from the 302
@@joex3406 I was referring to a 5 lier Ford v8 nimrod which is a .1 ?liter didrence
Built 350😂😂
Rip clutch
Brake holding is an instant loss here, it doesnt matter if you're in a duramax vs a pinto the moment you start moving backwards if your brake lights come on you lost.
And the fact that he probably needed a overhaul on the entire truck it would probably pull the Chevy then
The 460 big block is
Someone should teach the hotshot person in the chevy not to spin his tires like that. he's making them soft and useless by doing so. then the ford with is able to pull it to its death.
can't beat that 300 v6 its built ford tuff
+Maleigha Fletcher I-6*
Maleigha Fletcher the ford lost though.
heavy_ z71 nah fam
Maleigha Fletcher straight 6.
heavy_ z71 how did the Ford lose? It held the Chevy at bay with two less cylinders.
The Ford 6 ties the Chevy 8, and you want to talk shit in the Ford?
bye clutch
Too bad the Ford did not have a C6.
If that Ford had some more power it would pull that Chevy but it also weighs a lot more so good luck that's why it was a stalemate
Not about power, more like dumbass driver
LOL look at all the dislikes! Looks like “someone” is mad lmao
Tyler Gibson yeah cause these dumb asses don’t know got to tug o war.
There are currently 105 salty chevy fanboys lol!!!!
Why? Neither truck did anything
@@fletcherchad9434 they can't stand the fact that an inline 6 is pretty much neck and neck with a v8
@@dylanclay2741 the guy in the Ford gave up because he thought he smoked his clutch. To me he lost right there. Also displacement matters more than number of cylinders. You do know a 300 straight 6 has pistons 1.5 times the size of most small block v8s right? Gear ratio determines torque so there's that. I have a 92 f150 with 4.9l in it and a 2021 gmc 1500 with a 5.3. The gmc can definitely pull more weight.
@@fletcherchad9434 Because it has a V8....
@@Quint1836 And? You do know there is more at play than number of cylinders right? Starting with that chevy probably has 3:73 gear ratio and that ford probably has 4:56. Torque matters. And tires matter too. The guy in the Ford actually gave up because he thought he smoked the clutch so the guy in the chevy won anyhow. I have a 92 f150 with a 5sp and 300 straight 6. I also have a 2012 chevy with a 5.3. I generally tow with the Ford and everything else I do with the chevy. The chevy has more power but less low end torque. Not to mention the Ford goes from 0 to 60 in about an hour.
"i think i burnt ma clutch" You think? lol I cant believe why ford put a weak clutch on the f150's
Do you even read the description
Right the clutch can't handle the torque from the 300s
3/4 ton vs 1/2 ton tug pull which on will win hahaha
Funny how a stock warn out Dodge 225 pulled the 300 but a 350 can't? Something wrong there
And after it did the dodge transmission probably needed replacing
I think the final judgement it simple here; That 300 I6, no matter how torquey, has less displacement and two less cylinders than the Chevy, so considering that and the shitty driver I think the Ford put up a decent fight but it was obvious from the beginning who was gonna win.
+Just Here For The TH-cam Yep the 300 I6. You're comparing a truck that was built to pull/tow to one that wasn't. The Ford held him back and started going forward before he stood on the brakes.
I've seen the loads a 94 F150 with the straight six hauled first hand, weight that you should only pull with an F350/F450. And the only part of the truck that protested were the brakes. It was a nursery truck that hauled trailers stacked with BnB, with enough weight in the bed that before hooking up the trailer it was on the bump
stops. And it did that weekly for a few years until we got an Isuzu panel truck. It hauled tractors, backhoes, anything that could fit on a 20ft trailer.
+Just Here For The TH-cam the 300 was offered in the f350 because of its pulling capability, but most people got either the 460 or 7.3, in reliability the 7.3 and 300 are on par with each other
Displacement and Cylinders has nothing to do with the torque of the l6 300 and the 350. That Ford would yank the axle off that Chevy if the driver of the ford had dropped that truck in gear and hammered down. The Ford l6 is LEGENDARY for its torque. The 350 is not. Higher RPMs on the 350 will give more HP, however it only then begins to get near the torque of the L6. The L6 doesn't do well at high RPMs (That being the l6 300. The l6 200 - 220 however can yield up to 585 HP when build right). There is a reason that the Ford l6 was used on trucks, buses and tractors for over 30 years. (Also, the Chevy rear end in that particular truck is pure shit).
Just Here For The TH-cam neither of them won though, they ended in the same spot. ford driver just couldn't drive for shit.
Sean Sims
Correct.
This is more of a "Im gonna hold my brakes till he spins then i'll pull" type of video.
a 305 would have been a closer match.
TomsFruitStand no it wouldn’t. A 305 V-8 vs a 300 L6 is a guaranteed win for the 6.
Inline 6 all day it will walk all over the pissy 305
@@Mr666Rev for sure. A 305 wouldn't pull a greasy string out of a cats ass
They can’t move one another which tells you that either the ford slant six is a badass or the Chevy 350 is just weak. At the end of the day I’m still a dodge guy so I’d say that the 350 is just weak as hell and end of story.
That was lame
Weak
Best Ford engine is a 302 period.
