I've got a zz4 in my camaro that I'm thinking I should swap into the truck and then slap in a OD auto with a grannie rear end gear for optimal mileage.

Next question then: is a 700r4 the best auto option for a dd seeking best mileage?

Thx again,
Nick
Like you said you have your 69 Camaro when you feel like blowing off some steam so there is really no reason to build a beast motor for your truck.

My advice is to find a low milage Vortec 5.3L/4l60e combo for it and enjoy the hell out of it, all the aftermarket support is there and you can stab and go.
See my build thread for some insight into the swap, I am still in the process of completing mine and there is some really good information in there to help you avoid the pitfalls that I had to deal with which will make yours alot smoother and quicker.
