I have just gotten a 1970 C/10 w/250/monojet/3 speed/3.73 rear. What kind of gas mileage can I expect from this? I have only driven it a little but it seems thirsty for a six. Brian

None of the inlines are that great with fuel mileage. Probably not much better than a 350. I get about 14-15 with a 235.

I used to get around 16 in my 74, got around 19 in an 80 van. Improvements aren't that easy. For one or two mpg drop in a HEI with an advance kit. For anything better you need to change the rear end gears or put in an overdrive tranny.
