Amazing what losing 100 cubes and a big double pumper carb will do for gas mileage. This 396 with the Qjet used about 1/3 of what I would have burned with last year's engine. |
Funny thing is, I picked up 141 cubes and GAINED mpg on the highway compared to the small-block! I managed 16 mpg doing 80+ on the way back from Columbus last weekend on the motors break-in run! Completely blew me away! I am sure city will be another story...

Yeah, I was at the speed shop tinkering on my car again. The thing keeps throwing alternator belts so I finally made the decision to ditch the March bracket and go with the factory set up (just don't like how it looks.) Should have nearly everything wrapped up by the end of this week, including A/C so I will be ready to hit the local shows again!
John,
I have a storage bin with two complete brake & spindle assemblies ready to go. I'll plan on bringing them to the Peach State show unless you decide you want them before.
