What Durant came with anything other than a flathead?
William Crapo "Billy" Durant, founder of General Motors. Started his own company in 1921, it went bankrupt in 1932.
I dunno what you call 'good mileage' but expect no more that 18 hwy w/o towing anything.
These trucks have the aerodynamics of a brick and so...there is really nothing you can do to improve MPG...regardless of how much money you spend.
The 351M is a smogged up terd that was very prone to cracking cylinder heads. The only place I'd install one is in a scrap pile.

The Durant is a 1925 Durant coupester with a 1949 V/8 Full race naturally aspirated with a 95' S10 5 speed. we race it at the LTA/LSR World Speed Trials every year at Limestone Maine. Was planning a 460 engine but thought I'd get enough power and much better mileage. I realize the mileage is not going to be great. What tranny would you recommend? Thanks, for your input. Dan
