I may use the Mopar factory performance heads or go for a set of aluminum aftermarket heads with the bigger valves. I have a decent budget so I can select the best cam for torquey power, best Edlebrock EFI intake and a good set of headers.



TBI does better MPG because the fuel has more time to vapoorize. My TBI 318 dakota got significantly better MPG than this one or any stock magnum engine truck I have ever owned. Now they are not great on power but that is a different question...
