let's see...............bigger, heavier vehicle, smaller engine.........less fuel economy ? haha haha haha
reminds me of the dodge 4x4 i used daily when i was a junkyard owner years ago...........
fabricated a bead that was indestructible from 1/8" plate. after it was all said and done, the truck was 7000 pounds plus. 3.91 gears and 33" tires.
the thing had a real healthy 318, but the gas mileage was only 4-5mpg. eek
grabbed a 440 out of a chrysler wagon. stabbed in an rv cam, hp manifolds from a super bee, and a thermo quad from ??????
instantly went to almost 15mpg ! plus, it ran SO much BETTER !
didn't need to constantly keep the right foot glued to the floor.
in this instance, bigger was DEFINITELY better ! boogie up
