This may be a silly question, but what kind of fuel economy could one expect out of something like that.


For example...if it were installed in a 1976 3/4 ton truck.

That massive tq curve and small cam would allow you to keep your foot out of the throttle when towing up big grades.

Funny you should bring this up. Carl, my customer was joking about the "racing" carb I told him to run on this engine. He likes oem stuff so anyways...with some load on the engine at 2300rpm, fuel flow was pretty low. I would imagine your right, but it would depend on the rpm of the engine at your typical cruise speed as to just how much fuel the engine will consume.

I can tell you with a smaller carb than this one, and tuned sharply, fuel mileage might not be so bad...but when you floor it....fogetaboutit
