Hey Ferm what about these Motors

[THEFERMANATOR]

SO far they have a great track record. Good power for there size, and pretty good milage. It don't have alot of bottem end grunt to it, but she runs good once they get some RPM's built up.

I would agree with that, I do rev it up pretty good at the boat ramp to get her moving.

hum i may want to think on that one then. i still want a 572 in it lol. but want to make it easier on fuel lol.

[THEFERMANATOR]

Try and find a 5.3L or one of the light duty HO 6.0L engines then. The 6.0L is a strong running engine for it's size, and more than decent on fuel. Most all of the new style GM engines in a small block turn up some RPM's though.

fishing buddy has a pu with the 4.8 and loves it. he pulls a 25 wellcraft w twins tothe ramp and back(slowly & carefully). his truck has about 140,000. it is 4wd and 4 lo gets it up the ramp ok.
