How about the 2.8/2.9 four cylinder used in 2004-2012 Chevrolet Colorados combined with the wide ratio six speed from the 2016 Colorado? That engine is not gutless, it's more powerful than the engine from the 1975 Corvette. I think that a Caprice wagon has better aero than my truck, so that engine/transmission combination should be capable of getting better mileage than I'm getting in my truck.
