yeap.

the brown bomber is getting 1967 fuelie heads and a 650dp itching for boost

88dx

thats going to be atleast 40mpg when its boosted S10's dont even get 22mpg bigger tuck+bigger motor must mean better mileage

i babied the ---- out of it on purpose. i only floored it like 4 times. this was all cruising down the highway

i expect low 20s city/highway boosted. it'll definatly help.

i believe ted was getting about 17mpg in his truck and it was a hotter motor

oh and the bomber also has a quadrajet which are very good on fuel

which s10s? the 4 bangers get almost 30mpg and the 4.3l vortec are mid 20s

dad has an 850cfm rochester on a 455 pontiac that gets about 5 mpg. but then again, thats with like a 4.88 rear end and a 4 speed. no problem goin up hills in that ride, or doing burnouts in 4th gear either.

i had a 7mpg v6 4.3l s10










flooring the **** out of it doing burnouts up and down the street

Why not go with Vortecs?

Are you getting the fuelie heads for dirt cheap or something?

J-SMITH69

i hadn't thought about the vortec heads, but yea i/m getting the fuelie heads pretty cheap

they were rebuilt in 2003 and has aftermarket springs for 225

i haven't got them yet but i may

i can get some vortec heads from 1999 for 250

if you get the vortecs only a handfull of co.s make carb manifolds to fit em cause of the weird way the bolt on the head..and there ezpensive you pay almost as much for a manifold as you will the heads ..

J-SMITH69

good point

JonDouglas

You can always look around for a used one.

Eh, if you are getting the other heads cheap enough and they already have hardened seats installed, then it will be cheaper to go that route then.

The Vortecs are superior to the old fuelie heads in pretty much every aspect.
