good mileage/performance set up

hey guys i love my 77 chevy big ten but i think its time for a new truck becouse it aint good on gas and dad wont let me mod my truck. and heres my situation im 17 and im broke. by the end of skool i will have about a grand saved up for a truck and i will be working this summer so ill have a little bit of cash saved up. well i kinda need an idea of a cheap set up for good power and mileage. ive been looking at short bed 2wd 80's chevys with like a 350 and 700r4s. so i guess my main question is what are some good bolt ons for the motor to bump up power without sacrificing mileage or improving mileage.

thanks guys
josh
