Re: Increased MPG for carbs?

just find a 700r4. all youll need to do is move your trans crossmember back about an inch shorten the drive shaft and put the tv cable on.

its a lot cheaper then a gv unit

ive built my engine light and full roller just to save fuel. i got fuel injection and a 5 speed headers, h pipe, i went from 4.10 to 3.73, and i have 4wd
i get 20mpg highway easy even with a 1 ton the old lock out style front ends they work wonders

all i really wonted to do was go on the highway and i wonted 4wd, i was able to do that with just the transmission and adapter. i was only getting 12mpg ... i only got 1 tank and long trips changing elivation is not too easy to do with a carb so i put efi on it and the gear change was just a why not.
