if it was enough to cover a diesel swap, Id got 4BT in a HEARTBEAT!
otherwise, a big block (383/400/400) built conservatively with good low end torque and 3.21 to 2.76 gears would be OK enough to get you into the high teen's..
There was a guy either here or on RCC, that had a 4BT in a 74-75 Ramcharger and claimed to get 30MPG Highway/25MPG City.
