I just recently pulled my 5.0 out of my 98 due to it running like crap, no power, and terrible fuel economy (well worse than a 5.0 usually gets). The truck got dunked during Harvey, but it still ran. Couldn't figure out the problem.
Popped the oil pan and it was all clear then!
Yup that's parts of a piston in the oil pickup
Piston (B) was very unhappy after colliding with Crankshaft (A)
Piston #6
Piston #8
Yeah.... water and engines don't mix.
