What are you running for exhaust ?
Increses in mileage ar noticed when the bottle necks are removed from the "system". With a restricted exhaust I dont think you will see any difference with a 4bbl + intake.
A 4bbls is supposed to give you better mileage due to the smaller primeries .
The trick is to keep your foot from opening the secondarys .

Check out this web site http://home.earthlink.net/~bubbaf250/index.html

It will help you with modifing your m block and has an excelent page about the stock 2150 carburator, that chances are your truck has.

If you can keep your foot out of it, it will help.
