It would take a BB dodge to equal the power of a 350.:clap:

Busy with life.


My 454 gets 11.5mpg in my crewcab. :potstir:

My 454 (Bored out to 468 w 10:1's) 4:11 geared 400T gets about 8 mpg in my 79 3/4T Camo Burb, And she just chokes an anything less than 91! Takes a 10 spot just to get her to the station and back.... oouch!
 
Stumpy put a 350 in that crew cab and you might get 6 to 8 mpg empty. That front bumper must weigh a thousand pounds.:)

The small block I had in it got about the same milage. Even with 4:56 gears. Those gears got the Small block in it's power range, it didn't wake up till around 4,000 rpm.

Mine's a 468 also with 9.1:1, 3:73's, a 4 speed manual 1 ton 4x4 crewcab. Truck weighs 7,500lbs empty. The last time I checked the milage I was grossing around 9,000 lbs out on the 4 lane. Not bad for a gasser.

Is there enough room under the hood for that big of engine?????

Yeah, it's a 2500 series which all come with an 8.1L and 12,000 lb towing capacity. The factory made room underneath for two fuel tanks. Holds 37 1/2 gallons. It at least makes you "feel" like you can go a long way on a fill up.:laugh: you just have to be prepared for the grand total at the pump.:msp_crying:
