Just take your pick of a good used engine. Find the lowest miles/price that you can, have it swapped in. About $20,000 cheaper.

yeah i just found one from ford for 8k But what is the issue withthis one ? and why not overhaul the one i have ?

well, until you pull it apart you have no idea what is wrong with the one you have and what it needs.

 

[PowerStrokeMeF450]

$30,000 is why not, but it’s up to you. My 02 is at 247,000 and purring like a kitten. If you get a good take out from a wrecked vehicle, it will likely be fine.

My 01 is at 368.000 had issue shut down hard start then no power. Dropped the tank two filters in the sending unit were completely plugged cleaned them everything good.

+1, but wouldn't there be some other checks OP could do first, like compression test, look for signs of cross-contamination, tailpipe smoke color/amount, etc?

Sure, but if there is internal damage the only way to tell is open it up.
You can think "bad head gasket" and then find a cracked head or block once opened.
Or bad head gasket and find a bad oil cooler.
