About 11-12 mpg. Mods include Edelbrock 1903 q-jet, high-flow 2-1/2" cat, synthetic lubes, 4.56 gears, 2" reciever hitch.

Oh, did I mention the horse trailer? This is the van that pulls it.

That's the only 350 I have right now. But, you didn't say anything about what kind of vehicle it had to be in...

I have a monte carlo but they supposedly weigh about the same as a 3rd gen. I get 21 on the highway and average about 18 with about half city driving. This is a 750 carter carb too which is way too big.

23 mpg on Highway with the heaviest "black" spring for the secondaries. No Idea about the city, I like to drive with the lighter "plain" spring around town so the secondaries open quicker.

Mods are Holley 600 CFM carb, Performer RPM intake, Edelbrock TES Exhaust.
