Rembrant Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I like these interesting swaps. 30 MPG would be nice too. https://cincinnati.craigslist.org/cto/d/independence-1984-ford-f150-4bd1t-jatco/6845364468.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Interesting! 30 MPG is twice what I'm dreaming of getting on Big Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford F834 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I like this truck a lot, and that is not a bad price considering the value of those engines and conversion parts to put them in a Ford. That being said, I think a full 30 mpg is a little optimistic. Perhaps not in a 1/2 ton 2wd platform but I’ve followed a few 4BT builds and hear that mid 20’s is a more realistic expectation... at least on a repeatable basis. My crew cab is being built up to tow our Streamline, and is biased towards performance rather than efficiency. After that truck is finished, I want to work on building either a Bronco or a flareside that is tuned for mpg. The number 30 is a nice goal, maybe I can prove myself wrong...
