351M MPG?
Ok, so this may be more of a joke than a question based on what I've heard in the past. I have the opportunity to purchase a '78 Bronco with a 351M, C6, and NP205 for $300. I'm really interested in the axles and the above. I'm planning on swapping them into my Ranger. However, I was seriously wondering what kind of mileage you were getting with your 351M's. As far as I know, this engine is totally stock, and hasn't been rebuilt. What could I expect? Thanks.

I could get 12.5 doing 65 on road trips, 10 MPG in town if I was lucky.
Good Luck
