I can tell you are new to the group. Like me, you probably figured there were some tricks to getting great mileage from that FE and the experts here would enlighten you! ha ha You have probably guessed by now that it ain't so. My 352 gets 11.6 mpg btw. Almost got 14 one time on the highway. I'm still pretty flushed from that experience. If you find a secret to good mieleage, let us know asap! Good luck.

have a 1970 F-250 that originally came with a inline 6, somewhere in the last 35 years somebody swapped in a 302 with a 2 barrel. I put a edelbrock carb and intake on. I have 4:10, with a np435. It’s really peppy, and get around 13 mpg, that’s if I stay out of the 4 barrels
