Obviously the added structure of the all-welded rockers renders unitized body flex mute. Combine that with the inherently self-balanced three-main boxer and then if that wasn't enough, delete the insanity of fuel injection and EGR and put a proper carb on there and there you have it: no lack of power even at 40+ mpg. Like Dave Humongous says, piddle around mods beget piddle around results. That is why he has taken the giant stride of commuting in a mear 6 passenger V8 automobile instead of a V8 3/4 Ton truck. Evidently the man is serious! But not serious enough to get a carb Sube even though there is one sitting in Minnesota for $50 and it has the duel range trans to boot. So you see we have weak drivetrains because the knowledge of old is forgotten.
