Which engine do I want?

[alwaysFlOoReD]

I have a 77 f250 with a carbed 460/auto. Just turned over 100,000 miles. I can get up to 11.5 mpg mixed driving and about 8.5 mpg towing a car hauling trailer converted with racks to haul all my ladders and equipment. I've heard the efi isn't much, if any, more efficient.

Don't forget that the 300 has overlapping power strokes, so at least two cylinders are always on the power stroke.

For the way I used to pummel gas 6cyl engines with a 4cyl at tractor pulls I don't think that means a whole lot.

It doesn't. It makes them harder to stall when a manual, that's about it. I just like to bring it up because it is something a lot of people don't know about inline 6s.
