Re: 305 v8 or 250 I6 for better mpg

Sounds like a carb tuning issue. That thing has to be running rich to get 6-8mpg. I second the 2bbl and 3:08 gears and HEI, which should be good for at least 15mpg if not better. It won't be a powerhouse, but at least you'll still have the sound of the good ole' 350
