But I do agree with you, you should/could see an increase in mileage, of course one of the guys on here who did that swap and added A/C saw a drastic drop in mileage with the A/C use.
I wouldn't exactly describe my HF as "perfectly good". More like ugly, faded dented, oil burning/leaking hunk of junk on the verge of popping. But it does average 50MPG, it can't be that bad.

I planned on doing a ODB-0 to ODB-1 patch cable to save myself alot of trouble. I've done swaps before also. The most extensive one is a WRX motor in a '74 Porsche 914 which is still in progress. It has been off the road for 2 years, but not due to the swap (well, not entirely).
