302

OK, so I have a 82 302 v8, and I am changing the carb to a 4brl 650 cfm eldelbrock, specter cold air intake, hooker headers and 3in exaust. does anyone have any idea of what kinda gas millage I might be getting when all the work is done. I am just looking for a ball park, also I have an '82 grand marquis, but I thought I would ask you guys cause from what I have seen you really know your stuff.

Thanks

Too many variables. What tranny-overdrive? What gear ratio in the rearend? What size tires? 4x4?

if your running 3' duels that will hurt performance.won't scavenge the exhaust out of the cylinders.even a 3' single is to big,just a 302 engine.

i agree with the exhaust, way too big even for single. add an H-pipe on 2.5" duals and your in the right direction for making the headers scavenge better and get torque as a result
