40, I suggest you forget the Ms, they are far from a performance motor, and are big and heavy compared to the W motors. If you want to go fast, get a 351W HO, if you just want to drive with good power and economy, go for the 5.0. They'll both run circles around an M in your '40.

Nathan, thanks I want to run a 5.0 HO from a mustang the truck only weighs 2700# it should really fly. and still be practicle as far as running long or short distance. I'll keep everyone posted as it progresses thanks again. John Sugden (FATFORTY)

Good choice, the 5.0 HO should really fly in that truck, and get pretty good mileage to boot. Them Ms are truck motors, good low torque for pulling, but slow and thirsty. Post a pic if you can.
