EDELBROCK HEADS SUCK!
I am a Small Block guy, never driven a slant before, heard lost of good stuff, about great MPG, so here's the deal.
Wife has an 88 2 wheel drive ramcharger with 3.21 gears, and a 727, it has a 69 2bbl 318, stock except for cam, and gets about 12 around town, and 16 on the highway..... 7-9 in the winter around town. Yeah, it sucks.
I have tried carb, ignition, tuning, etc, this 318 just wont get good MPG, oh well, life goes on, nothing to cry over.
I have a 66 225, from a truck, and a 72 225, from a one ton..............
Both run like clocks, the 66 sounds like it is solid lifter.
What do you guru's think a well tuned slant will get for MPG in a 4500 pound ramcharger?
And is there any advantages/disadvantages between the 66 and the 72?
Is the converter balanced to zero?
And should I use the late 80's factory hi-stall, or the early low stall......?
If I have the mounts and radiator from the 72 (All fits into the 88 body/frame......) is that the last of my worries?
How does the slant do in high moisture conditions as far as icing?
How good do they start in the cold?
Questions Questions!
