Just a little more food for thought...I purchased a 61 Unibody with a 292/3 speed/3:73 from a fellow in Pomona, CA, had it moved to my kids place in Rosamond, CA, flew out, fixed all the stuff that needed fixing (brakes, tires, gas tank, carb, shift linkage, valve lash, etc.) and drove that bad boy back from CA to Birmingham. That ol 292 never missed a beat and I averaged 15 MPG running 55 - 60 all the way.
