Harry,
Since your current engine does the job without any problems, and your
current usage would never justify the expense of the new engine, why
would you consider buying a new engine ?


For a 4000-rpm, 30-mph cruise with a half load of fuel, and three or
four adults aboard. To get that 30 mph now, I have to run a little
higher than 4000 rpm. On calm days, I like to run at 30.

Is the 300 going to have the same block? If not, it will be heavier and
add even more to the load.

Bigger motors burn more fuel at all RPM's so how do you think you will
save $$?

Do you actually read posts before you comment?

I didn't say I was looking to save money. I am looking to run 30 mph at
4000 rpm. I expect my fuel burn will be a bit more than the 10-11 gph I
burn now at cruise, but not much more.

The 300, I am told, has a totally new block, and is not a punched-out
F225/F250.

This is all conjecture, anyway. I'm mellow about it. You should be, too.

Harry, you sound like an American with too much money to spend. Wouldn't
running at 3500 rpm and getting 25 mph be much more practical?

You sound like I did before I bought that Mustang.
