Some tips on gas milage for you .. I have a 6 261 / now bored and stroked to 300 ci .. as far as intake manifold heat , if you are doing a lot of driving in the winter in a cold climate , you will want it .... if you live in a warm climate I say you can do without it ... also use (if you can ) monojet carbs , these have a double venturi and it atomizes gas better , just like a q jet carb ... if you do a 3 carb manifold make the carbs progresive and heat the center , this in it self will help gas milage ...and use the monojet in the middle ...

If it were I ,I would just go the turbo route and be done with it ... I plan on doint it to my next truck.. I too have a soft spot for 6 cylinders.... Oh , dont worry about horsepower , torque is what is going to get you gas milage and you want it down low , make sure you dont overdo it on cam size...
