A 6.2 will also bolt up to a Corvette 6sp double OD, gear the rearend way down and you have lots of power 
As for Fuel economy a 1.9 won't touch 60mpg in an el camino except maybe at 25mph, the 6.2 will chug along in the 30's all day long in such a rig with an MT.
40's aren't impossible.

I agree but 6+ litres seems an awful waste of capacity when 1.9 with a turbo will make similar hp/torque or maybe at least usable hp/torque. As for the MPG there are loads of larger cars (Audi A6 upwards) with that engine that make 50+ MPG. There are also loads of them around so if it breaks you can get another one cheaply.
