If you tow a trailer alot, I would really think aobut that swap, the 351 is not that good on milage, and the power is subpar, to say the least. It you want to upgrade to a newer truck, and don't tow anything just drive around ocasionaly, then the 351 would be ok, but for the real work, you are better off with(I can't believe I am saying this)diesel. If you find one with the 460, then that would be worth considering. Hope this help, and this is only my opinion. Mason
