Just a note...
Early 302's and late "5.0's" have a different balance. If your going to use a late 5 speed,(good idea) make sure you use a 83ish and newer 302.
I have 3.55's in my 93, I wish I went 3.73's. I drive on the highway alot, and I cruise at 80mph all day long with out a problem, getting 30mpg. I don't expect your carbed, aero as brick 65 to do the same , but it shouldn't be far off.
Good luck!
