In some places, going 50- is ok, but in others it's not. Since were all concerned about power and mileage, check out page 9 of Jegs catalog, the LS7 427, 505hp, 470ft/torque and gets 28+ MPG. If I were going to repower a PW or any truck for that matter, I'd be looking at this engine. 4.89 gears and an OD tranny would give you some good mileage and a lot of power with that engine. But I would probably also upgrade the whole drivetrain as you have a wider variety of gearing to choose from. In mountain country, that V8 would be a better choice. People today just don't have the patients to go 15-20mph in hilly terrain.
