I've only owned one big block Chevy, actually two. 10 years ago I bought a 1988 Suburban 454 2 wheel drive, it was a rust bucket, and I sold it for parts. But I drove it a 125 miles to the new owners house, and the fuel mileage was probably under 10, even though I was driving a gentle 55 with...
Now that's the answer I was looking for! Thank you Tom. to expand a little further... What happened to the 23hp from the 327 350 to the 350-350? A friend of mine runs an (almost) strictly MOPAR shop. I asked him about dyno tests of various engines, what's underated, what's overated... He said...

I've been lusting for a C2 or 3, and at 58 the time has come!
I pumped gas in 1972-12 years old, and the pump jockey-mechanic had a green-saddle '66, I think. Factory sidepioes and a small block, I was bitten!
The C2 are too pricey, I would only want a 365hp or 396-425, I don't like the...
