I've been impressed with the mileage my '85 Suburban 6.2 can do.

I have read that with a couple (2) of small aftermarket turbo's, a 6.2 will run like a 454,
but get great mpg. when you drive nice.

To me, this sounds like the best case of having your cake, and eating it too!

If you like ANYTHING in the GM family: Olds, Pontiac, Buicks, or Chevs, this swap
would be fairly easy.

For someone trying to make a profit while building cars like this; I think the key is showing the finished result. Impress at the strip with low ET's. Then verbalize the
mpg possible in daily life.

With bio. you are losing the black smoke that turns so many off.

Future world events will eventually cause regular gearheads to come around, but will take awhile.

A ready car is the sales tool. You must keep the performance image alive. Geeky won't
cut it for profit!

I would love to do a '70-72 Buick GSX tribute with a 6.2.

The badging would say GSD though! (Good...Speed...through Diesel!)
