well, Ford did make the 240 up to 74. it's the same block as the 300 so I'm sure if you have 300 motor mounts lying around then those will work.

well if you want a diesel I-6 then get a Cummins. oh wait that's a 5.9 = 360 cid.......nevermind forget the Cummins as a choice; that's nowhere near 240 or 242.

Put a 300-6 in that truck and you should get about 15 mpg around town. A 302 in that rtruck isn't going to do much better than 9 around town and maybe as high as 11 on the highway.
