my old(traded a year and a half ago for my 99) 69 400 bird had a built 455 -butler ported heads ran 8.40 in 1/8 on skinny rear street tires was a blast but detonation due to high comp made it a bummer , rear main leaked after sitting a while - it needed some work -,lots of cool cause it had a lumpity lump cam but 12 mpg and it didnt beat my 99 m6 car by alot so i have given up on old school with gas here close to 3.25 for premium and rising it was time to give it up theres just no reason not to IMO oh heres pic of old bird for you purists
