The 351w is in a 79 E150 1/2 Van. I just drove from Utah down to southern California and back, and the mileage just sucked, it took about 130.00 dollers in gas each way, with gas costing about 1.50 average a gallon. It does have a RV cam in it, but just a 2 barrel carb. Just as a side note, it dawned on me while I was getting such bad mileage. It's because my van was so loaded. 6 People, camping gear, tons of clothing, blankets and food. Plus the speaker box which holds my 18" subwoofer which weighs about 150lbs. My van weighed SO much in fact, that when I got back to the town right below I live, 4 of the 5 studs that hold my right rear tire on all snapped off. I am VERY lucky that it din't happen somewhere else between the 1400 miles of round trip that I took. When the big flatbed tow truck came to tow my van, the front of his truck lifted up about 2 feet as he was pulling the van onto his truck. He said he had lifted many a forklift and that had never happened. Now I know one of the reasons why they make 3/4 and 1 ton trucks and vans. == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2000 14:36:16 -0800 (PST) From: Bill Subject: Re: FTE Perf - 351w MPG? Of course this will be of no encouragement... Just got my 1970 351W back from the speed shop.. first 2 tanks I averaged 9.2mpg.. 'course the cam aint stock (214/224 duration, 472/496 lift), the engine is tight (230 miles) and I am running a C4 with 3.25 gears and 28.5 inch tall tires.. (sure hope it gets some better, but that might be the price I pay for the power I wanted)...:-) Bill in Texas (on my way to Mobile, AL) '64 F100 shortbox, ('70 351W, '76 C4) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
