Engine is slated to swap into a 1989 F-150 2wd short bed base model with a C-6. 3.08 rear gears. No AC, hand crank windows, rubber floor mat, 1 small 12 gallon fuel tank--so, pretty light for a truck.
It has the 300/6 in it right now and gets pretty bad fuel mileage. I'm not a fan of 6 cylinders and I figure if I'm going to get bad mileage anyway, I might as well have an engine I like.
The truck is a daily driver, won't be used for towing or any heavy loads.
Would like to get as good of fuel mileage as possible with the combination at hand. Plans include to swap to a T-5 in the future as well as maybe a Fitech fuel injection set-up. It will be carbureted for the time being.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
