Default 5.3 gas mileage?

Just curious about what I should expect with a stock 5.3, edelbrock dual plane intake, quickfuel 750 slayer carb, 3.73 gears and 28" tall rear tires in a 4200# 1953 Chevy truck.

My 99 Silverado gets 18-19mpg highway fairly regularly.

The carb, gears, and shorter tires might hurt you some. Hard to say for sure. What transmission?
