351E aftermarket parts

I have a 1967 GMC with the 351E engine...I really don't know much about this engine and I wanted to know if maybe you guys had some tricks on how i can make it a bit more fuel efficient? Seems to waste more gas than a 454! LOL!

Re: 351E aftermarket parts

taller gearing and tall skinny tires. also better flowing exhaust and some people swap on a holley 500 and upgrade to hei. my dad swaped a 2bbl off a 67 international 304v8 we did have to make an adapter but it liven it up and cant say we saw any mpg improvement though, its in a c60 so maybe if it was lighter we'd notice more. all the hei and holley stuff is on the website sharpie posted actually
if you want rebuild parts kanter automotive has alot of the parts for these v6's
when i finally get my rear end fixed in my c60 i plan on bringing to my cousins' as he likes to make headers, see if he cant make a nice set for my 351,
