6 liter swap gas mileage
I'm in the planning/research stage of a 94 s10 ls/t 56 swap. My goal for the swap is to make around 350 whp and get decent gas mileage. I plan on driving it daily. Mods will include lt headers/ full dual exhaust, cia, possibly an ls6 intake and a small cam probably something like a gm hotcam or simular.
The truck will have either 373 or 410 gears with the t 56. Does any one have any real world knowledge of the mpg difference between a 5.3 and 6 liter motors?
Thanks,
Kory

Well... If your running a T56 you'll be getting great gas milage on the highway. Will drop down around town. I've heard of mild cam 6.0l's w/t56 gettin 26 hwy+. I have a pretty big cam in my 04 gto w/stock gearing and a t56... I get about 16 around town and 23 hwy. Just will give you a lil bit of an idea..
