i'd imagine.
we're talking about Mykk's truck, right? i was thinking he said something about not being able to get more than like 6mpg before the carb swap.

but either way... how many people can say they've got a carb'd SBC in their NBS? him & that guy with the 383? i considered it when my 4.3 broke, but the 5.3 ended up winning for me.
