I am picking up my block from the shop tomorrow and starting the assembly of it in the next few weeks. Stock 5.0 block bored 30 over with a stock cam and a set of reworked 351w heads. Keeping the sd and injection, going with a 3.55 gear and a tune. what kinda gas mileage could I be expecting with this setup? It is also a 5-spd.

Thanks,
Nate

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
