why build a 408 to run 13.5? Who care about mpg...make it run right and you might be able to pull a 13.0.

putting a 2.261 gear in a muscle car that you spent all kinds of $$$ building a 408 storker is like neutering your prize race horse because you want him to live longer.... if you wanted MPG's you could have just rebuilt a 318 and used a 2bbl throttle body.
Dang, Swingin', why you gotta rain on his parade?  It's his daily driver. The guy built a combo with a good sweetspot  he should be congratulated, not ridiculed.
Go put 4.88s in everything you own and poke your fuel tank with an icepick so you can use as much gas as you see fit.

driver doorpanel, 65 Sport Fury, prefer black, needs to be 7-8 on 10 scale, might buy set
