Just out of curiositry, my mechanic is putting a Chevy 350 in my Jeep Wrangler and i was wondering what kind of gas mileage should i expect to get, i am running 32 inch tires. A Litle FYI my inline 6 got 10 MPG. it also has a new 4 barrel edelbrock carb, new high flow intake manifold K&N air filter and a free flowing exhaust and a R.V Cam

your inline 6 should do much better than 10, with gas prices i would rebuild the 6 rather than jump to a V-8. You should see about 12-15 mpg with a well tuned 350...
You should be seeing 15-20 mpg with a well tuned inline 6
These are just ball park estimates...

I put a similar motor in my brothers Jeep, it gets about 10 to 12 MPG. That inline six you took out has a lot of low-end torque, probably more than a 350 at low rpm's

Expect about 6 MPG with that setup. The gearing is going to hurt you most of all.

Probably about the same mileage as the inline six.

Honey.. if you're puting a 350 in a jeep with those tires.. you're not going to get anywhere.

you wont notice much of a change on the 6 cyl. it was harder to turn the tires but now you have more power to the tires so you will get about the same ..good choice enjoy the mud
