Back in the 90's I worked as a mechanic for a GM dealer. I bought a new short bed truck every year. In my experience, the 350 trucks always matched the 4.3 V6 trucks for mileage and were much more pleasant to drive. The 350 would motor over hills while the V6 would always be up and downshifting over them.

In my experience, V6 engines are super in S10 trucks though, but fullsize need a V8's torque.
