like all cars it really depends on how you build it from the start. if you was to use a good tight small block,with fuel injection, electronic ignition and a good cam. a modern overdrive transmission,good tall gears,and some tall tires .i dont think you would have any problem whatsoever building a good mileage one. my old 61 cadillac would get in the low twenties on the hiway all day long.maybe 8 in town but thats a different story.most folks think im lying,but i had a 79 ford f150,460,standard c-6,with the fastest speeded gears in the rear end i could order stock. took it straight down to the transmission shop from the dealer and had one of those overdrive units installed behind the transmission.that truck got close to 25 on the hyway. and did real good in town also because it would shift the overdrive unit also between gears so you basically had six gears.that old 460 had enough torque it could just idle along at town speeds. drove it 250 some thousand before one of my hands implanted a deer in the front and totalled it.always thought about building another one,even bought a 93 for a project truck.still a project though..LOL
