Seems to me like you'd put in a lot of time, effort, and money for a small fuel efficiency gain at the expense of anemic performance and potentially huge problems of balance and engine management issues, not to mention reliability problems. I see fuel efficient Honda Civics on craigslist here in my area all the time that are just needing a little work on the tranny or engine. For what you'd spend on your mod there you could have something that gets 38mpg, works great for many miles, and many years.
If you're the mad scientist type and just wanna do something because you can, than by all means. As a practical/money saving project.....I think you'd be better off putting your time and money into something else. My 2¢, maybe worth that, maybe not.
