what do you think my gas milage will be?

i'm building a roller 350 with 041 heads, about 9.5:1 compression, edelbrock 600cfm 1406 carb and performer intake, short headers, will probably be 1 5/8" into 3", and i'l probably use a comp XE276HR cam.

i will have a fresh 700r4 trans with probalby a 3.23 or 3.42 rear end.

what kind of gas milage do you think i could get out of it driving it easy?

Probably 15-17mpg, if you drive it nice. 10 if you drive like a mad man

i've been thinking about going with the 264, it would give me more low end, be more streetable and give me better gas milage. that would probably be a better choice for a daily driver.
