I'm doing a rebuild on my 89 L98 and I'm considering going with a 383 stroker engine. What kind of fuel milage do you 383 guys get? Thanks!!

Somewhat loose torque convertor is behind mine(2800 stall) and it gets around 15-17 city. I can knock down 20+ on the highway with the 3.45's and overdrive.(as long as I am not doing my michael schumacher impression)
It's an LPE 383 motor if you weren't sure.

With my old '86 w/the 383 I got around 17 city and 25 highway. I'm a bit of a leadfoot so you may do a little better ;)
Start the day at the track with a half tank of gas in my 396. At the end of the day its close to a 1/4 of tank. 1-2 miles per 5 gallons of gas. :lol:
