i would just like to say that even for your 351 that u plan to build a 750 carb would still be a little big, a 700 is probably the biggest you should go. if you consider i run a 750 on a 390 fe big block.

If gas mileage is of any concern, don't even use a carb, stay EFI.
It's also a fact of life that as more power is produced, more fuel needs to be used. The amount of fuel used in units will be referred as BSFC (if I remember right) on a complete dyno test chart.
Take a look at one someplace for a 300HP engine and then compare that BSFC to one for a 400HP engine you'll see what I mean.......
