Re: 67 swb keep bbc or swap to ls motor?
BB VOTE!!
I've NEVER got 15mpg out of my '02, 6.0 LS powered GMC.... bought it new. Plenty of power, great dependability at 145,000mi, but not great fuel mileage. Seems pretty typical for 6.0's... 4.8's & 5.3's do better.
Prolly just 'cause I'm OLD, but to me there's something special about a snotty BB Chevy. How 'bout a "mild" 400++hp. pump gas big block.... & maybe a TKO 600 for fun. Put in some A/C. Run it HARD 
PS.. my BB 2wd. O.D Blazer will give 15mpg at 70+ mph
BTW. BEAUTIFUL TRUCK, '67 short fleet sm. back window is my FAVORITE '67-'72
