I imagine they were working from ideas promoted in this book:

Manifold Destiny (cookbook) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manifold Destiny: The One! The Only! Guide to Cooking on Your Car Engine!: Chris Maynard, Bill Scheller: 9781416596233: Amazon.com: Books

Oh, and this too, "Diesel Dining" (for truck drivers): http://www.amazon.com/Diesel-Dining-...ref=pd_sim_b_2

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
