Re: Big Bertha Build thread x2

Not surprising, I got better mileage with my v8 4wd than the six 2wd when I converted. I think it was because the six was always working in the upper range while the 283 did not have to work as hard. I am hoping the 350 is even better as it should be a little more torquey.
