MPG with 351 Ford Racing crate engine
Hi!
Just wondering what mpg I should get from my 351 Ford Racing crate engine with Holley Speed Demon 750 carb.
Is 12-13 mpg for normal street driving not way on the high side?

Thanks for all the tips.
Carb overflow is fixed. Pressure dialed down and I found a fuel filter.
Engine still seems to be running a bit rich, my mechanic will look into that soon.
