My dad's 88 has a 350 tbi, with the right tyres he was getting 26 mpg. My vandura has a 400 and the stock rochester 4barrel, I got about 17-19 mpg. I've yet to find out what mileage this new 79 beauville, 400 and 4barrel, will be getting.

I'd recommend a carbed unit, just for simplicity's sake.

There shouldn't be a great deal of variation among the different 350's, until they came out with vortec heads, that kicked them up a good deal. I'm not positive of when that was, but some other vanners should know.

By the name of your hometown, I'm thinking you and your neighbors are very tall ;).

I'm in Canada, but I'm about 3/4 Norsk. I was making a joke about Jotunheimen, suggesting that you were one of the Jotun ;).

My gandfather came here from the "Bakkelund" farm, in the Vestre Toten parish in Oppland.

I've never had a chance to leave Canada, but I do want to visit Norway as soon as I can. Apparently I have a lot of relatives there.
