Engine advice 253 - 3.8 V6 - 304 EFI ??

What about a normal 308? Power and no conversion cost.
Or you go for a blue motor 253 4 barrel quadrajet and electronic distributer conversion on your 253. it will liven it up quite a bit. get rid of the dual fuel while you are at it. No performance to be had from that system.
Forget the V6. You could spend the same amount of the conversion buying a 308.

What he said. If you have gas already then no real point going EFI. Get the tank rechecked, whack in a nice 308 and run a decent gas carby on it. Gas should still be cheaper than petrol for a while and a nicely tuned V8 on straight gas can be made to run really well.

I would stick with the original motor if it is? I have a blue 253 quady re tuned and jetted with a very mild cam and timming set back to hq standards, on the dyno its putting out a very healthy 139kw a rear wheels with little work and minimal cost. a vn 5.0 fuel injected is only good for 165kw at the fly wheel and 142kw for vs v6 so bugger all difference and you have got to love the sound of a carby motor sound compared to fuel injected.
