He may also be a good source for a correct Four speed and the parts to convert.

Hell I dunno. I have the stuff to swap over to the 4 speed. I also have a spare /6 that I could check out, and slap the assembly in at one time. Mine is alum hood, steel deck lid, and 2.94 gears. I was lurking around .org yesterday to see how involved a TBI swap on the Dart Lite would be. I would be curious how well the Dart Lite could be hypermiled with EFI of some sort (Prefer MPI, but TBI would be ok), the 4 speed OD installed properly.

I do miss that car, and i'm kicking myself for selling it to buy a jeep. I've also owned a 1996 nissan sentra, with 216,XXX miles, and it was probably one of the nicest vehicles i've driven. They do last a long time and get pretty good gas mileage. But they do tend to hold their value, so it might be difficult in finding one for under a grand.

Not sure why the Sentra is calling my name? 32 MPG is 2x what I am getting now, so it sure sounds appealing.
