    I was looking for lower info, fuel tank capacity. I have a step side and most of the books show 19.2 gal. but, my tank is not that big. I think it might be a 12 gal. It has a 351M and I'm going through a 1/4 tank in about 20-30 miles. I think I calculated 10.7 miles per gal.

    thats about right for a 351m. Thats a 351 in the 400 block. Its a slow torque monster that drinks fuel. Stroke on that beast is like 7" or something.

    They basically took the crank from the small block windsor and "de-stroked" it to put in the 400 block. That motor is a work horse. Should be left for farm work. :eek:

    I had the 352 FE in mine. Thing got about 7 mpg. But had insane hp and torque numbers.
