30 MPG is incredible for that machine.....I need to really delve into this thread. Is your belly pan made from corrugated plastic sheet?

( BTW- if this hasn't been covered already, an M5R2 would bolt to that motor ( I couldn't tell if it was a 5.0 or a 351 but would either way). It has something like a .7:1 OD and a REALLY steep first gear ( like 3.5:1))
