swapping a 300 6?

which engine would you guys suggest i put in my 78 ford f100. it has the original 300 6 and i would like a little more power out of it. i do a lot of highway driving, so the extra power is needed.
thanks for your input

Joseph

For your situation a windsor will definitely give you the most bang for your buck.

What about a 302? should be better mileage, and still good power.

A 302 would give better mileage than 351W, but he wanted more power than the 300-6. In a truck application, a 302 will not add much useable & dependable power over the six like a 351W will.
