Increase your fuel mileage, buy a 5.0 enough of them around and could convert to EFI and motor for less than $500. For fun a couple years back a friend had a Fairmont with the 255 and it had only 22k miles it was his grand parents and on the dyno it make a huge 98 whp and 114 ftlbs. Your trying to move a lot of truck with that engine.
