I wish I was 1/2 as knowledgeable about my 5.0 as you are with your 351

If I get the tuning right (a lot of trial and error I'm sure), I should still be able to manage 15+mpg while hauling my little camp trailer and a couple of motorcycles in the back.
I had a 1981 VW Rabbit pickup about 15 years ago. Put a turbodiesel engine out of a Jetta in it. I loved that truck. It got 45mpg and it had enough power to stay above 50mph over the top of Vail Pass (10,300 ft. elevation) with a passenger and two motorcycles in the back. Traded it for another motorcycle. Should have kept the truck.
