Hey, the best mileage I've gotten in my 94 5.0 5spd is 20 city/32.5 highway(with a run to 147!). Ain't too bad if you ask me.

thats true
but it gots a lot of computers and stuff that gives it that much
the 3rd gens with the 5.0 only get like 18 ot 25 MPG with my foot out of it
so if i could just make it DOHC that would make all the differance, and i have herd of a putting a VOLVO head on my engine, what do i need to do and how long should it take?
