Re: Really bad milage
My 65 with the stock 283 and 3.73 gears got around 10 mpg. At highway speeds they are rolling billboards and geared way too low.
Same truck with with LS2 and good gearing gets an honest 17 mpg. Same drivetrain and gearing in my vette gets and honest 21 mpg due to aero difference I guess.
I think you would see some good improvement with better rear gears and an OD tranny.
