Welcome to the site Archmaille.
Sounds like you are ready to go all out on this. I will tell you right now that the C64 is not a good transmission for fuel economy. It has very short gearing and you'd be better off getting a C59 (5 speed) out of a 98-02 Corolla. That transmission has the tallest 5th gear and final drive ratio (and thats still higher than most of us here would like to see).
The engine mods also sound neat, but I'd highly question the gains you get from them. They sound like horrible bang for your buck mods.
In any case, those are my opinions. Good luck with your car.
