I guess I'm getting old and enjoy the simplicity of older more simpler engines. I don't want to use a computer to program a computer just to get to work. I want to use what I got !!!!

Im using a 1995 K3500 454 for an acceleration baseline. It makes about 1 pound feet of torque for every 10 pounds of vehicle weight. This means the S10 has to have about 154 pound-ft. of torque at 1600 rpm.

I just purchased the Fuel Economy Calculator from Performance Trends for comparing combination. I want to have the most efficient small engine possible. The 267 beat the 283 by 2 MPG and the 305 by 3 MPG.

Been considering a 305 with a 400 SBC crankshaft....😃
