true that

 

Upgrade your exhaust & intake, also around town a nice set of 3.73's or 4.10 gears with some short shifting will increase gas mileage significantly.

4.10 gears with my 5 speed and I can net over 300 miles out of a tank in town.

 

If you get an automatic trans Stang, you can adjust the TV cable to the tranny to increase the line pressure which will make it shift sooner and get up into the lower gears sooner which will help mileage. under heavy throttle, it will also stay in the higher gears longer before upshifting too. like the others said, low restriction air filter and headers/exhaust are first and easiest things to do to help make engine more efficient and increase mileage.

 

but the time you spend all that $$$$$ to save gas it would have bought a year's supply

 

Dont worry about the gas. Just stick it to the floor and be happy you get to fill up your V8 at the pump . Gears, exhaust/intake are great start to getting that better gas milage though.

 

Hey vfast,thats so true its funny.lol

92...how do ya like that anderson pipe? worth the $$$?

 

I'm not sure yet.
After i put it on my car i lost all my oil pressure.When i pulled the engine apart i noticed that the cambearings were wiped out along with the crank.
I'm in the middle of rebuilding the engine now so i'll let you know soon.
I'll say one thing though.It looks impressive,lol

if I can get stanghoney to do my clothes and cook me some good meals ..I'll build her a faster car for her*L*

92..did you look to see if the oil pump was the problem..being that the cam bearing went would lead to it..have the new oil pump clearanced and remove any burrs on the gears or housing
