Re: 72 Chevy 4x4?

A well-tuned BBC won't be great on gas, but manageable. I would get it with the 454. The Turbo 400 transmission uses up a lot of power in its process of putting power to the ground, so if you want enough to get your truck to really move, stick with the big block. That's my two cents ( 3.5 with inflation).
