it does seem better than I have been seeing
And would make an excellent choice if it surveys well
Weren’t those engines prone to some big issues would need it scoped and an updated list of repairs if any balancer and oil seal ?
The Yamaha 3.3L V6s (of which this 2007 F250 is one) are prone to "dry exhaust" corrosion. The problem seemed much more common in 2006 and earlier models and particularly the 225s. If the corrosion got really bad it could actually corrode the engine block near the oil pump and if that happened the motor is done.
I run this same motor and it's a great performer. Should be a good match for this Grady. You can have a mechanic use a video scope to look inside the exhaust tube when the lower unit is removed for servicing.
