BTW, a 1969 GS " the motor was donated from a wrecked gs frown " Got 14mpg with a 3 speed auto. And that was in a car that weighed over 4000lbs.


I guess you will have to shove them down my throat, also. Your example of how that motor got to 400 horses is BS. Is your claim based on SAE figures, at the flywheel, corrected numbers???

Wait! Wait! Before you answer I need to put on my BS proof watch. smile
