Need Advice: K20 as a Daily Driver/Everyday Truck

[67chevy_hotrod]

Your biggest concern is if it has the right drivetrain. If you get a big block truck with a sm465 and 4:10's you will probably want to be walking to work to save fuel. if you get a little small block with shorter gears you will be lookin better. I drive a 69 longhorn everyday. It's got a rebuilt 350 with a little cam/carb action. 1.72 heads, longtube headers and flow masters. I average 14 mpg on the freeway but I have 4:10's and it is kinda stressful at 55-60 being wound up to 3,150 rpms for more then 10 mins. I would love to have shorter gears or a gear vendor but I don't drive long haul very often so it's not something I'm stressing about. But for somone with a commute.. Choose wisely!
