Re: 1971 chevy c10

You are going to be limited to about 16 mpg best case scenario with the carb IME. Their are lots of things you can do to improve. BUT, in your case, sell DZ 302 block for big money. Buy wrecked Escalade. Swap 6.2l LS motor and 8L70E into your truck.

Truck is now fast and gets 18 mpg.
