I6 or 350?

i have a 68 chev 2wd and right now its got a 292 I6 in it that burns oil and this truck is soon goin to be my daily driver
i have a 350 that is complete and ran when the 68 gmc its in was parked about 17 years ago, i havent had time to get it started due to where im storing the truck but i know it wont take much effort
now my question is will the 350 with a rochester quad get better mpg then the oil burning 292
the 350 would get a new set of gasgets andwhatever else it needs to be in perfect running condition before it gets any use
so would the 350 with the th350tranny be the best gas millage combo versus the oil burning 292 with the same tranny
i dont know was the gears r but its pretty low gearsim shure cause the truck was a 2wd c/20 with a 350 originaly and a 3speed granny shifter
tell me your thoughts about it thanks
