I think what bluetorpedo85 was saying is that the 300 will drink a lot of gas, just like a 460. Which is a 100% true, although, I believe it would still be less.
Bottom line is, a 300 is a great motor to do it with, will last a long time, however, for more $$$ there are still options with more power, but the 300 isn't a bad choice as it sits.
a 4bbl, 10:1 compression, an RV cam, headers & duals will make some definate power.

Makes good points there pckupman, I wasn't sure if he had the np 4 speed or not, trust me man I've got one in my truck and absolutely love it, with 4.10 rears 
. Talk about pulling a house down. Makes sense, with the right gears that thing should do alright pulling wise. I'm just used to my dads dump with a diesel and four speed, and it's geared lighter in the rear than my 250.
