We used to have that set up, 370 cu in V8 in a '80 F-800 S/A, was a gutless wonder with any real weight on.
The best combination I ever drove in a S/A F series, was an F-800 with a 5+2 & inline diesel, early 90's, one was a '91, had great power, not sure what the motor was actually, we had 2 of them, one was red and automatic and the other black with the 5+2, even the auto was good, motor was gray, inline, but I don't recall what it was, plenty of power, kind of reminded me of a DT466 IH, which was also another great combo in a S/A, w/ 10 spd.
There is a lot of S/A's in this country, you should be able to find what you need, but that change over may require extras, once you have built or find a truck the way you want it, there is no substitute, I was so glad to be rid of that '80/370, had 10 ton of stone on and she stalled out on top of a big hill, in 2nd gear was delivering crushed stone, lost vacuum, brakes failed, started rolling backwards, let out the clutch while in gear, almost did a back flip, looked over and put her in the ditch, I did tear up the rear with that first choice, things got out of hand quick, thankfully that ditch was the best choice, darned gutless wonder, probably would have stalled in 1st, I should have taken the tandem, but the boss said put 10 ton in that F-800 and bring it there, ok....... sat morning turned into an all day'er !
