What all did you do to the engine? Well Adam engine started it's life as a 440 cubic inch, it's now been stroked and bored 30 over and now is a 496 cubic inch. Eagle Rods, Ross pistons, B1 modded heads, compression is 13:1, two 4bbl Barry Grant carbs (basically a pre-modded Holly carb)...I could go on and on but those are the main points. Tires are 33"tall by 21.50" wide.
Michael, Thanks. The fuel average I gave is mostly city driving, not to sure what it would do on the hwy....if it's gone anywhere far it has to be trailered. That said, it doesn't go far.
It's mostly the two 4's that make it use that much fuel, as it's always running on 4bbl and when opened up it's using 8bbl. You can actually watch the fuel gauge move when you pass the halfway on the gas pedal.
For example though, for anyone that knows the Mississauga area, 403/Dundas and Erin Mills Town center and back again is half a tank.
Thanks again for the compliments.

Hurray for 8.1 liters of displacement A good friend of mine had a 67 chev truck with a 454 done .030 over. It was one thirsty ass truck too, and that was only with a mild 4 barrel... 8 would be nuts! Seriously nice car though. Roadrunners aren't my personal pick of the mopar pack, but I always gotta give props to a clean car done right.
