I plan on lowering it, block off the grille some, put a Hurst Olds air dam on the front and a belly pan. I would like to do something about venting the air under the hood, also. Maybe some air extractors.

Anyway, thought you guys might like to hear about an old hot rodder and drag racer getting good MPG's with a muscle car.

Kick yourself in the dick. Just go buy a cheap high MPG car. that year 442 is one of the last year models of the true American HP that done need a special tuner to play with. Not knocking you but their are plenty of us on here that have muscle cars and have our ECO cake too. 1 for saving gas and 1 for hauling ass.
