It's a 396 punched out .060 (408 c.i.) backed up by a Turbo 400. With 3:73's in the rear, I get almost 9 MPG on the highway as long as I stay under 70MPH. After that, the mileage really goes down hill fast
I have taken it on the Northeast Rod Run the last two years and might take it on this year's run also. Even with that type of mileage, I don't hesitate to take it on a 1000+ mile round trip. It will usually shake itself apart by the end of the trip, but that way I have something to work on every spring
