Late model engine/tranny conversions
 
Just wondering if any of you have swapped to a fuel injected late model type of setup and if so, what type of mileage/power are you getting? I saw Brothers sells new mounts to drop in a newer style motor.

I used a 96 305/4l60e combo in my 72. The power is good, unsure of the milage but its not bad. Alot better than the stock 350 that was in it.

I just put an 01' vortec 6.0L (LQ4) and 4L80E in my 71' 4x4. Should be driving by the end of the week. I'll post up the mileage ASAP.

Is your speedometer calibrated?
