I have a 1989 F-150 4X4 with 300 six cylinder and 3:08 gears in the states. It´s always gotten about 15 mph on the highway. Some day it will get a 351.

My dad had a 1977 F-150 with that 360 engine and a 1979 F-150 with the 460. Both had C-6 xmsn and both were gas hogs and gutless. We pulled the 360 engine and put in a rebuilt 390. Better gas milage and way more power! We were going to put a 429 in the 460 pickup, but he sold it. My suggestion is to put a stock plain-jane 390 or 428 in your pickup. You´ll get better than 10 mpg and lots more power.
Just my 2 pesos worth.
