A 350 would be the better choice and will get the gas mileage if built right. 4.10's will not get you 22 MPG even with the 700R4, 3.42 is the steepest gear that might be possible to achieve 22 MPG. That kind of mileage in a truck would be impressive unless you switch to one of the later model LS series of engines, the older SBC Vortecs will get is to but a bit more of a struggle.
