I'd like to have a relatively stock 327-350 or so, maybe 700R4, 3:23 gears. What kind of gas mileage you think I would get? My S10 gets about 24-25. Would it get 20 you think? .. if I kept my foot out of it ?

I had a 1980 z28 with a rebuilt 350 with a mild cam, 600cfm quadrajet, and 700R4 with 373 gears. It ran great and I could average 16-18 w/out the a/c on and putting around town. On the highway and having fun it was just over 12mpg
The 323's would obviously help with the mpg's especially on any highway runs...
