Tons of torque, good power great milage. Look up Tom at 12bolt.com and follow his direction. Problem is, you can build 3 or 4 small blocks for what you will have in the warmed up 6.

Not really the price of 3 or 4 but maybe one moderate 8. Anyway, the six always torques better/lower than the 8. And, a six is never JAFSB !!!!

I could see mileage being worse with a 6 and the 308 rear. Trucks are heavy and bricklike and the motor is small. Pretty much seems you may have it lugging all the time with 308s.
