347 Mpg???
Alright I'm trying to decide whether to go with a 347(4.00 x3.470) or a 371(4.125 x 3.470) world products short block. This will be my daily driver for about a year at least, while I attend UTI and I want at least somewhat decent mileage. What are you guys getting for MPG with a 347?

20mpg is attainable depending on the rest of the mods you have. but its also how heavy ur foot is.

The rest of the set up should be AFR 205 heads, Comp cams NX274 Cam HR, Trick flow R intake, TKO 600, and 3.73 rear gears. I know some of this is going to hurt my mileage, but I'm looking for a mix of power, reliability and mpg. Mid to upper teens on the highway is good enough for me. Do you guys think that is relistic? I already have an AEM standalone so dialing it in shouldn't be an issue.

I didn't see the word cheap anywhere. Looks like he wants fast and reliable. I'm not denying that this is like many other posts, but he never really talked about cheap.

OK thats a different example the first one was about wanting a bizillion HP and 50MPG...and it goes without saying if you are looking for good gas mileage in a race car you are cheap.....you want good gas mileage buy a hybrid

"thats a pretty big head your planning on running, an reason why? your cams not that big at all." I'm running that big of a head because I'm planning on forced induction, and I'm also leaning towards the 371 short block. 95StangMX Hybrids aren't my style...but thanks for all the help |

Factory block will handle 450 all day long.....we are just trying to help you. You are concerned about MPG but you are gonna throw away all that money on a block you dont need...and if you goal is only 450 you can hit that with a N/A 347 that is well built and matched..BTW its a lot easier to hit the quote button on the right bottom side of a post then to type it all out
