Hi Orange Acres - Naw it's not a drug reference. Taos is an artsy town and your'e supposed to creative. Every name I pick on new sites is always taken - Zorro, Super Stud, Milkman - all gone. Are your acres really orange? I'll remember to shut the engine off at the top of the hill. But first I have to get it there. I think part of the problem with 351's and low MPG's is the intake manifold which feeds two cylinders on one side and one on the other. This requires a carburator to spew a lot of gas to feed that one large intake manifold. With a manifold that had one port per cylinder it would work better.
