When you say the 6 burns oil, how much?

If it's one quart of oil per 1000 miles..fugetaboutit. Drive the truck until it blows.

If it is one quart per full tank of gas, first try a adding a can of STP to the oil.

If it is still one quart per full tank of gas, swap out the o-ring valve seals with rubber umbrella valve seals for a small block f*rd (289/302). A lot less work than swapping engines.

If the truck has a continueous fog of burnt oil making the truck look like crop duster going down the road, then... good luck with the quicky fresh-up and swap of your V8.
