That is the old 460 engine - I would not expect more than 10 to 12 mpg out of that setup.

There is not a lot of room in the engine compartment to work around - especially in the front - a '91 (17 years old) could be expected to need new rubber (belts and hoses) and other normal repairs (starter, radiator, alternator, AC) before too long - even with only 52K on the odometer
