How to build for torque? Advice please
1978 4x4 supercab F250 NP205/435 4:10 Dana’s. It’s a DD work truck.
Fresh big money 410M stroker that gets 7 MPG and only runs on premium. It’s gotta go.
Love the 300 I6. I know they work and last forever.
I don’t mind gearing down to get the most out of it. I don’t expect it to make 350hp and 450tq, I just need it to reliably haul and dump a ton of firewood, plow a bunch of snow and go on a few road trips while getting better than 10 MPG on 87 octane.
Is this reasonable expectations from a 300 6? Where do I start?
thanks

I cant really answer your question but I think I would relook over the stroker and see where it went off the tracks for the MPG.
You have to remember that the motor is a package and if 1 part does not work with the package the whole thing will be bad.
Maybe also ask over in the 400 area how to get more MPG of what you got. list the motor build from the compression ratio, cam, heads, intake & exhaust, carb, distributor / timing, etc. as something has to be off.
