how improve mpg on 454

[ QUOTE ]
Thanks for the comments, looks like I am struck. Anybody want to swap at 454 for a 350 before I go broke? Gas is $ 189.9 here.

That is decent mileage all around, our 76 1 ton with a carbed 454 only gets about 8 average. You can inject that motor, our 98 dually with a vortec 454 and nv4500 5 spd gets about 10/15. Like trustyk5 said, you could swap in a diesel or do what I did and just buy a completely different diesel powered truck. I get about 20 average with my ISB cummins in my 2001.5 dodge 3/4. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
All those options can cost a bunch of money though and could buy a lot of extra gas.
 
my 454 with the 750 edelbrock and th400 35's gets about 6 per gallon /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif
