It is said that a 460 will pass anything but a gas station. There is a lot of truth in that. Most get 10 MPG, whether running light or pulling a huge trailer. But, the torque is hard to beat as it will get the truck moving in a way nothing else will.
A 351W won't approach the torque of a 460, but is a lot easier to live with at the pump. You just have to take your pick - go fast and spend money all the time, or go quickly and save a bit. I'm thinking a 400 might be the sweet spot.

Do a search on this forum 'cause I haven't done that, but others have. One thing I'm pretty sure of is you'll need a remote oil filter due to the filter hitting the frame. Another is that you have to find a 250 or 350 with the 460 and get the perches - and I think they'll fit the 150 frame, but again I'm not sure.
