Brodix Big Brodie heads(done by Reher/Morrison)

backed by a Turbo 400 with a brake
Should get about 5-7 mpg, not a economy car thats for sure

540 going to 565 next rebuild. Rarely street driven these days, no more than a few laps around the block the last few years, just so it's considered "street driven". Engine size has nothing to do with streetability anyway, it's camshaft size and how long will the lifters and springs last.

Sounds sick, I you sure you don't mean 5-7 gallons to the mile??? 
As long as you have a good top notch aftermarket cooling system you should be ok. My 468 stays cool all day long with two sets of fans and a belt driven water pump. One of the fans is attached the the water pump (ditching that soon for an electric water pump).
As stated above more of the issue is cam size and valvetrain

Thats true, the more CUI the smaller the cam is in the motor. As in a BIG cam gets smaller with the more CUI the engine gets.
For a 350 a .650 lift cam might be considerd big but for like a 408 its just right.
Its all relative.
I am planning a 572 crate with a cam swap for my 1969 Impala backed by a th350. looking for around 600 rwhp in the street car. It was my first car and a gift from my great grandmother.. I am rebuilding the car in her memory. She bought it brand new in 1969 (paid cash) 327/pwerglide 2 door vinyl hardtop.
