Not reading through all 30 pages but heres a nifty fact.

You can put an LS1 into an s13 and get 30MPG. Happens all the time. Volumetric efficiency and less mass to move with less throttle.

Thats right, a gas hungry V8 designed for a 3400 pound car with an easy 250 wheel horsepower will stick into your 2800lb chassis and give you damn close to 30 mpg.

So theoretically speaking why shouldnt I be able to take the engine from a nissan titan and stick it into my 240 also and get 40mpg since it weighs half as much and I can get around the same using 1/8th throttle ?

Hmm ..why indeed.
