It's a 352 and it runs like a dream.  I am counting on a good carb & vacuum adjustment, removal of the aftermarket air conditiner and bigger tires to get me from 10 mpg to 14 or 15 mpg without towing.

Also because my 66 Safari is so light and streamlined I am counting on pretty good mileage while towing . . . perhaps 10-12 mpg.  I will report in after finishing the project.
