Wow, what stories are being told here about gas mileage. I have read with much interest the reported 12-18 mpg with 408 strokers and 360's, I say caca to this. What are you doing coasting downhill, never going over 30 mph putting it in neutral at every opportunity? My previous engine a 318 with a 280/480 cam, 600 holley, 904 tranny, 323 gears and a 3000 stall converter NEVER got over 11 mpg on it's best day, 18 mpg with a 408 BULL CACA. I now have about 250 miles on the new Mopar crate 360/380 magnum with a 770 Holley street avenger, Mopar M1 intake, 904 tranny, 323 sure grip and 3000 stall and the mileage is 8mpg not 12 or 15 or 18 as some people claim. I really don't care, if I wanted mileage I would have gone to a 6 cyl. I just like to put out factual information to other folks that may be interested or curious as to MPG in a certain drive train and engine and not fantasy. By the way my Ford diesel doest get 18-20 mpg either as some folks claim. (end rant)
