I already did.
Edelbrock 650, advanced tuning kit and air fuel mixture meter.
I have used this setup on a smog 5.0L and 7.4L smog years motors, I know it works.

If you did what I said, spend lets say $500 on a carb, tune kit and air fuel meter and doubled your fuel economy, even with $2/gal gas the mods would pay for them selves in about 3,500 miles.
At $3.50/gal it would pay for its self every 2,000 miles.

Even if I am half right, then it pays for its self every 7,000 miles with $2/gal gas.
When gas prices go back up to $3.50/gal I don't see how you can afford not to.
