i think i would see how bad the bore is first ,you might want to be careful when you talk about power in towing and mileage .but a few thing's you could do would be if using stock pistons ,mill the head about .025 thousand's odds are it's a little out any way .stick with the smaller valve's . if you can get it a rv cam for torque in a stick truck would be a plus .got to be careful how much you bump up the compression ,go to hei dist and have it re-curved .don't know if it will fit but i have a decent lightly used rv cam out of a 292 chevy .headers and a two barrel carb would work nice .i used a Rochester for a while before i went to a small 4brl .4360 holley
