'86 E350, 460ci, looking for suggestions
I'm picking up an '86 E350 coach (dual rear wheels, 20 seats) that I'm planning on converting to an 8 seat + sleeping bunks and kitchenette race car tow vehicle. The 460/C6 got ~8mpg last time it was driven (about 7 years ago!) and I'd like to do better. Here's my thinking-
rebuild carb (isn't it a 600 cfm Holley 4160?) find a good E4OD, use a Baumann controller and shift kit. put in a "tow" cam, ~204*/214* @ .050, 112* cam lobe separation Cam chain drive w/adjustable advance headers and large turbo mufflers. Outside of getting rid of the 460 for a diesel, are there any other things I can do for fuel economy? Would fitting a later fuel injection manifold and related stuff be worthwhile? |
