I am running an 8.25 right now so gear changes are not as easy as an 8.75. Building an 8.75 later this winter, but right now the 8.25 stays with its 4.10's.

I am thinking something like 3.23's and some 28" tires with a Thermoquad for daily use.

I have three dragstrips that are all around 100-120 miles away so the drags will not be a daily thing.

Ten years ago I got the grand idea to move about 20 miles from anywhere. And they I got the grander idea to build a fast, older car. The grandest idea however was when I realized that they first two ideas were not so grand for daily driving a 40 year old car

It is all good. I will hopefully get to drive it this week

Keep in mind that this has been a 5 year project full of vigorous starts, and long periods of rest etc.

Lots of interesting discussion here. I must have asked the wrong question though.

I was just wondering what types of BB cars got what for mileage.

Sounds like we have some mean machines at 4 MPG and some mileage kings too.
