Default getting 60 miles/tank of gas!!!

I just swapped an obd1 gsr motor into my 93 dx, i haven't wired up vtec yet (no time) but my car is running rich as hell, i have to fill up almost every day with 91 octane and it only lasts for 60 miles. WTF is it...i had that same motor in a 95 civic which was written off and the motor didn't do that. By the way the motor wasn't touched by the accident, it just sat in my garage for a month.

dude there is no way that you use that much gas. it must be leaking or running so rich that it barely idles.....

Just out of curiosity did you check if there is a small leak in the gas tank?

it does barely idle, every time i come to a stop the car stalls so i had to adjust the tb cable that it's always giving a bit gas.
