Ummm...Well..Not exactly. Ching ching of bad gas mileage. In my 50 with about the most built up 248 that I could do at the time and running the original dynaflow, I get 19 mpg. The power is quite good. In fact, hard to complain about. I am now building the most all out, take no prisoners 263...

Pistons. Yup worked 'em over plenty. I've got a original set of .010 over 248 pistons. I took off .625 off the bottom, cleaned and polished the top, and then, sent them out for moly coating.
