[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2153639, member: 15054"] JCW355 that is a fact. because he sold it and who knows what happened to it. Funny thing is i built a 1984 ford full size E150 (6000lbs empty) 302" .030" over bore with keith black flat tops ported smogger heads I also ported the intake and ex manifolds..2 barrel intake ..no vacuum advance I recurved the distributor, for a quick timing curve...over drive automatic that i never used the OD . 260H comp cam. 350 gears 17.6 MPG 14 pulling heavy trailers....AC on...Now that is a 2 barrel carb from motorcraft..tweaked of course.. But new trucks are hard pressed to match that...remove the OD and good luck... Not impressed with the new stuff. I wish i had some small chamber heads for that old van ..like 289 heads...I would bet 2 more MPG from the compression increase. Oh well! Oh yea..i lifted it 4" higher than stock. [/QUOTE]
