David Vizard / Uncle Tony...Small block Infos ?

I know this is a Mopar forum but it seems other smallish small blocks get more love. Back in my working life I drove a couple of Broncos. One a 302 with lots of pep and good gas mileage. Next one stepped up to a 351. Big disappointment. Sluggish acceleration from a stop and a gas hog. I’ve got a “modern” 302 in my 2013 F150. That’s as modern as I want to go. No turbo 4 banger for me.

I built a 360 for the street/strip, but I’ve got a 318 that I’ve got my eyes out for something to put it in as a daily driver, rainy day car.
