I think the 315 is a very good engine, with plenty of torque. I drove from Santa Fe to San Antonio 725 miles on $45.00, so thats like 16-17 mpg. Not bad at all for a 4wd Town Wagon with 4.10s, and had 7.50x16.0 tires. MPG was even be better with the 19.5s that I put on it.

If your truck is in nice original condition, I might think again about doing a conversion,
unless you are planning on driving the truck long distances, day after day.
