I am guessin at about 10mpg. That would be because of the TH-350(no overdrive), and the Stroker, and the 3.73 posi.

About 14mpg on a stock '84 L69/auto trans. with 119,000 miles on it. At 115,000 I put all new emissions equipment on it and a new GM carb. It also got new plugs, cap, rotor and new plug wires. I still think it can get better mileage though.
