I brought the GTO home Sunday after 10 months in storage. 375 miles at 75 mph. Absolutely not a single problem encountered along the way. 75 mph equals 2420 rpm, and nets about 21-22 mpg with the windows down and the top up, sweating my @##$%$#% off because the AC is not hooked up yet.
All in all I could not be happier. My back did not even start to hurt until I passed the 300 mile mark. I can't even say that about the wife's Mercedes.
So what is the longest single trip you have made in your conversion?

200 miles no problem on a iron 370 swap. Not sure about mileage but it only used little over a 3/4 tank of gas.

I've drive/cruise off and on for a week when go Reno for Hot August Nights.. usually put about 1500 miles for the week. Going there and coming back is a 225 mile trip that i usually do 70-75 and get 26mpg. Been running for 7 years now..

I know Stu-cool has done some long cruise from Calif to the mid-west and back. Chris442 and his Father have driven about +3k with there 67 Camaro with a LS7 a week after they got it running (has been in a few Magazines).

I have done a bunch of 500+ miles in a day trips including towing. I used to go to the dragstrip at least a couple times a year and it was very common to put 40 + passes a day. But my conversion is also my daily driver and I have 108K + on it so far. I always wanted to hit some kind of top speed/standing mile event, a roadcourse and autocross but haven`t had the time yet.

what kind of gears are you guys using in daily drivers? my 69 c10 truck has 308 ratio but I just got it fired up(4.8/4l60e) and finishing up the minor things hope to see 19-20 on highway. along with many trouble free miles

I can't remember how many miles I've put on all my swaps. But I've been as far east as New York New York. As far north as Toronto Canada, south as far as Key West Florida and as far west as San Fransisco California.. I'm sure I've got more than 200k on my swaps.I'll drive them anywhere!

Hah, thought this was going to be about total mileage. I haven't put much more than 50 miles at a time on this per trip. My work commute is only ~10 miles.

Total mileage though, just crossed 5k w/ daily commuting and primarily driving it except on the one long trip I've been on since october, the only problem was last week a fuel clamp let go and started a small leak, thankfully under the truck and not the engine bay.

Fuel lines are on my to do list, better lines (braided) and connectors.

200 miles one way from Road America *after* a weekend of beating snot out of it. The other car we took (Audi RS6) cooked its alternator and we had to put it on the trailer instead.
