i am looking at 86 F250's to buy and i want to plow with it. should i get one with a 6.9 deisel or the windsor 5.8?. I originally wanted the 5.8 but i have been looking for about 3 months and have not found one i like. today i came across a ad for one with the deisel in the next town over should i get this truck or keep looking?. which engine is better for plowing? what mpg would these get? I know i have alot of questions but i dont want to make the wrong decision so i would appreciate any input you guys have.

The 6.9 is a good engine, but the 351ho has more hp and torque. Not sure about mileage, probably better with a diesel.
