New bb build fuel economy

i don't see why someone would choose a 400 (or any big block) if economy was important, it just makes no sense :BangHead:

If going all out economy, then yes not best idea, but looking for a balance performance/economy build definitely BB good choice able to make more power idle to 5000 rpm work well with the highest of rear gear, get away with lower hwy cruise rpm, can use a low rpm stall etc... then a similar powered SB.
