I was thinking of going that route too. Does anyone have a 383 stroker carbed, what carb, & what's your average mpg? I'd like to build mine as a daily driver, but I need to have decent mpgs at todays prices or I'll have to get a second job to pay for gas! I thought diesel was the way to go, but now diesel is almost a dollar more than regular - go figure! Propane might be the way to go - does anyone have that setup? I'm interested to hear what you fellas have to say!
