Just when I think I'm settled. Had a guy look at my 09 civic si with rebuilt title and offer even trade for his 06 lifted f250 6.0 Fx4 with 155k miles clean title in good condition, has exhaust and chip plus egr delete, not a lariat but an xlt. Second individual has a clean title 89k mile C5 clean title M6 corvette that's really nice and stock except corsa exhaust again straight swap. If I get the 250 i'll trade my '12 for a new 5.0 and lower my pmt by $300 a month. If I get the vette my pmt stats the same (not making or breaking me). What would you suggest and why, thanks

You've made what, 3 threads about this already?

You already have an F250 so get the C5. 6.0s probably aren't as good of a motor as the new 6.7 (?) anyway.

Actually I made 4 threads already, that's irrelavent I'm asking advice and for others input as to why. Like I mentioned just don't want to rush in and regret later (I have options) and would like to get advised as to which is smartest or wise decesion. Hell if someone else offers me something in trade unless it's a no brained I'll post again until I'm 100% sure.

There is prob a hood reason the owner of the F250 is willing to make that swap. Its called the 6.0L Powerstroke. If it doesnt have all the head work done, it will soon need it. Betting it doesnt and hes seeing the signs. Id steer clear unless you make the trade, just to TRADE the F250 since Im sure it will pull more in tradein or sales value than the Honda.

^^Excellent advice and right along the lines of what I was thinking. I'm going with the vette unless I get another interesting bite.

Walk away from a 6.0 unless as mentioned it's already had head gaskets replaced ARP studs installed and EGR delete done on it. Otherwise she going to cost you some change I'm sure you don't want to spend on a truck you just bought.
