I crushed nicer more rare trucks for $140-150 a ton.

You could fab in a Chevy TBI set up, or you could find a Holley Projection set used, I just sold a complete kit, minus pump for $50.

For $1300, I would venture a guess you could find a nicer specimen. W/O the toilet of a 460, I was Ford EFI from the git go, and I dreamed of 10. Friend of mine claims 17 highway from his one 5 speed truck, but the other 5 speed truck is currently doing 8-10.

No. that perfectly tuned, maybe 10. Plan on 8. Maybe 6. If its tired, and it looks tired, 6-8 is a better spectrum than 8-10. Bonus is, it will be the same loaded or empty.

My Centurion EFI 460/E40D loaded to 15,200, trailer etc. did 8.8- 9.5. Empty drive around the city truck, 8.8 - 9.5. Less if I idled more. And we MADE time coming home from TX to ID, 75+ the whole way.

The only way that 460 makes sense, is if you had a fleet, and wanted to be able to swap parts between trucks.

[bigoilburner20]

the 460 was last used in 79. and then brought back in 83. the 351M and 400m were the "big blocks"for 80-82
