Your almost better off going with the gas motor, but they don't have the torque that the diesel does.
Hard to say. The 6.0 was designed to meet emissions and was a bust so they came up with the 6.4 which is, IMO the stopgap till they had time to build their own In House motor aka the Scorpion. The had a spat with International which built the 6.0 a bit back over warranty claims among other things. And now you are looking at buying their "stopgap" motor? You must have some brass balls.
