Whew.. thankful for these forums. Is the 292 inline 6 worthy of 4wd or towing scenarios? OR is a v8 the only way to go.. Trying to keep original look and I like the inline-6. Also, does anyone have ANY clue of gas mileage scenarios when adding a 4wd axle to the front? Does the inline 6 do better or worse than v8? I will probably be going muncie 4 speed OR even nv4500.. 5 speed. With no load I have heard of folks getting nearly 20mpg.. I dont know how adding an axle to the front would change it that much if not engaged unless traction needed..
