nope. Just routine maintenance. The 351 was never known as being good on gas

Buy an economy car...trucks are made to tow and haul and make big power. That never mixes well with fuel economy. Even with the mods you listed you won't see much of an MPG gain. If you drive a lot of highway a bed cover will help your Mpg's a little.

no. Unless you have a big budget you can't make big power
