how much did it cost to build that motor? and do you know how much power it is making?

[nevrenufhp]

@fordstrummer

It was roughly $5200 and that's with buying the engine too. This truck had a 360 in it. It has been estimated at 300hp/400tq

Im sure it isn't much, but what kind of Gas mileage are you getting out of it?



[nevrenufhp]

@GunsmithMMG

mpg can always be better, but it gets roughly 17mpg per tankful on average.

Maybe it's the modern era, but the 6 cyl engine impresses me more than the 390/460 versions of this truck.

The 300 six has always been a motor that could pull and has been known for running long after 200,000. miles I have always been a fan of the 300.
