dirtydave - Lol, it would make this project so much easier! But I'm deciding against a MTX swap for a few reasons...
1. My car would not be an ATX! - I really want to see what the limits of an automatic are. There is not one auto in the Top 10... I want to be the one of the few
2. It would be easier!... exactly that. I'm in for a challenge either way. I desire the road less traveled.
3. There has got to be a midpoint between Tygen1 and COZX2 - Tygen reported today that his best tank was 56 mpg (Auto). COZX2's best was in excess of 100mpg (Manual). Reaching the point between these two should be theoretically possible with an ATX.
4. I am a broke college senior who is out of job and money
Swaps take time and money, of which I'm depleted in. Besides, I have no second vehicle... my 88 K5 Blazer is in the shop still. Can't decide if it wants to be a gas truck or a diesel truck
