I am planning on a solid 40 mpg with the 2.84 final in there. The sunfire is 800+ lbs lighter than the donor car 
The engine is in tip top shape, 200 lbs of dry compression and PLENTY of power. I should be able to climb mountains in 4th gear  Not sure if I will get it done this year or not, but it is in the shop and is half done. |
Sorry to thread jack here but I'm interested in seeing what you get out of the sunfire. I've seen a lot of swaps similar to what you're doing but it's always for the performance so I've wondered what difference in fuel economy is. You should post a build thread.
A bit more on topic though is that we need a team for pontiac. There's one for chevy and saturn but not for us I tried to make one but it was throwing errors at me. Daox do you need to be a mod or something to start a team?
I know what you're talking about for the air dam I don't know know if you're is exactly identical to mine but there's one in the lower radiator opening and then under the radiator is another one I don't really understand the placement of them. I think I might take the one in the lower rad opening out once I put a grille block there.
