Just not sure how difficult the rest would be (mounts, linkage, cross member, steering etc). It would make it easier to add accessories (AC, power steering etc). It all depends on what you want with your truck.

Seriously, I think the mileage would be very near the same. My 62 3/4 ton got around 10mpg and I've heard 454's do about that also. I don't think the 454 probably weighs more than the V6.
