350 to 250 swap i

[Awann99]

My truck originally came with a 250/3speed. The PO swapped a 350/350 into it form the 70s so the engines sits way back like a 4wd truck. I’ve added a sm465 so it is a manual again. But I want to go even further and rebuild a 250 and swap it back where it should be. The 350 in a great motor. It’s a goodwrench crate engine. It’s makes about 195 hp. Do you think I would see a large drop in power and fuel economy swapping to the 250? The truck has factory 3:07 rear gears. I love the sound and the look of I6 motors so I really want to do this swap. You don’t see I6 motors anymore. Plus with a 250 you have so much more room to get in the engine bay and work on it.
