Having the power and 20 mpg. That is impressive to have the both.

My 460 is now stroked to 557 and it does and has "kick some ars" (only if they deserved it or ask for it) and still gets between 8 and 10 mpg just like my old 460s.

Good Monday morning to you Dennis. My 557 is rated at 650 pounds of torgue. Also I think I get the same mileage as my old 460s, because having more power and torgue I use a lot less of it to do the same as I did with the old 460s.

Hi Randy, I'm sure that's true, and that low gear helps too

Thank you punkrockpilot. It was distinctive enough in that I never had to advertise my business. Contractors many times would just call and ask "Are you the one with the yellow Ford truck?".

I'm very impressed Gannon, your first post is on page 2 (than rarely happens on a first post) and has morphed into the fly-by greeting post!

You gotta brother or sister Ford Fanatic? We need more poster magnets like you.

Sean... it has been a good thread for me also. I have really enjoyed meeting and posting with all of you.
As far as another Ford Fanatic in my family. I do have a sister but she drives a Saturn.
