Hold on there Canada cousin, there aint no bell change for a C6, because it's a one piece tranny. Like the other feller told you, you will never save 400 plus dollars in gas, swapping the engine out. After running a 390, you are gonna think you are running on a three cylinder engine, and will wish you had it back.
If you need fuel milage look for a little Ranger to use as a daily driver. :-)

From personal experiance I can tell you that the best thing you can do for that 300/6 is to get rid of the one barrel carb and either get a Clifford manifold and put a two or four barrel carb on it or, get an adapter and put a two barrel carb on the stock manifold. A 300/6 with a 4 bbl carb and headers will run as strong as a small V8.
Been there, done that (unlike jowilker).

Make sure that Carb is for a 300. If it's for a 240 you will have some hard to find troubles with the Spark Plug's and Valves.
You'll get about 3mpg more with the Six. IF you dont pull a big trailer, you will like it just fine, but there is a definate power difference. Be patient while driving and you'll find it just a peach to own.
