Re: MPG for a 402
The truck that has this 402 in it is in almost perfect shape. It is a beautiful sky blue and white 2 tone, with very very little rust. The inside of cab is awesome with everything original. It has 89,000 original miles. Good tires, hub caps all around. It is a camper special with tilt wheel, factory sliding window with all the paper work. I can get her for $4000. I'm really leaning towards buying her and making it my daily driver.

Re: MPG for a 402
Thanks so much for the info Jim. I KNOW that you can decent mpg even with extra cubes and power! It's just a bit of work to find it. This should save a LOT of trial and error.

Re: MPG for a 402
With the stock motor and Q-jet, along with 3.73's that help me out around town, maybe 14mpg if i'm driving nice. Running 3000 rpm at 70, not so much. Getting rid of my ramhorns and downpipes crimped to 1.5" or so each should help it breath alot better at speed. Going to Hooker long tubes and a 3" otl single with an xr-1. Along with my summit velocity stack look cotton gauze air cleaner in the mail to replace the stocker snorkel. I really want to get a wide band to get it "just so". But as much as I like my q-jet, a coworker of my dad's is giving me a free thunder avs and they're 1000X easier to tune.
