Default Quick question on mpg, 70 cutlass swap with lq4

Hey guys im thinking of dropping an lq4 with l92 heads,a decent cam,maybe some moderate head work(want to keep it reliable) with headers true dual xpipe exhaust with an auto trans. My questions is i dont think i want to go efi because of the work involved.So if i go carburated,what do you think my mpg will be if i want to run 350-400hp?i want this to be a daily driver so mpg is defenetly important. It will go into a gutted 70 cutlass a-body supreme.thanks

I would think MPG would be alittle less with the big 'ol rect port heads vs. catheral heads. I know GM rates these less.
