My 63 had a 327/350 when I bought it, but I drove it home 90 miles and pulled the motor in favor of a 350 I had just rebuilt and put in another truck. I currently get about 10 to 12 mpg max I think a 327 may be able to do a little better, but probably not much.

with your gears and tires "not to mention driving habits" you are lucky to get the mileage you have.
