Quote: I got 25mpg in the valiant's first version...1-2 mpg better than the original 318 did.
Basic stuff too...basic 360, basic heads w/ 1.88 valves and 3 angle valve job, MP 268 .455 cam, eddy performer, holley 600, MP ignition, headers through 833 OD manual trans and 2.94 gears. Ran 14.2 in the 1/4 and when driven easily (60-65mph) would pull down terrific mileage.
Thats not bad at all... especially considering that cam and intake are pretty dated designs and thinking.
