That's funny.
Are your 216 and 235 engines rebuilt? Mine is "original". Who knows when the '51 engine was put in the truck and whether it was just pulled from a junkyard and installed or rebuilt first? Judging by the looks of the truck itself and its use on a farm for 40+ years I'd be inclined to think the engine was just pulled from a junker and dropped in.
What is your opinion of the reason for 11-13 mpg fuel economy? Age? Wear? Air cleaner type?
