Cripple,

With vehicle weight and my load, the 4.3 is dragging 6,500 lbs down the road.
I'd like to drop a 5.3 or 5.7 in it. Others that have report better mpg. I know of a couple people that have done diesel swap's, that's a huge project, with one headache after another.


As far as my future build, I'm eyeing the XR3, with a redesigned nose, possible GT40 style doors and leaning towards a 1l Metro motor built by Jeff's geo metro www .jeffsgeometro . com

Thanx for the welcome
