company ford motor pension plan problem

I have a 1932 street rod truck and looking to put a high gas milage ford (rear wheel drive) engine in it.Idea?

I have a 302 in it now 9in narrowed rear end (Big Meats Look Cool) going to use the 302 in my 32 two ton. Thinking of using a Ranger 2wd truck (need to redo my fram and front suspention) still want to stay with an automatic trans


Throw another 302 in there...its less work...frees up time and resources to breathe on the motor. Port-match and polish the intake and exhaust passages in the heads. Use Hyperkeutetic (low expansion) pistons (Kieth Black) and set it up a little tight.
