EDIT: I believe I recall seeing the C7 as being able to break 40mpg from the factory (at the right speed) with a 6.2L pushrod V8.
OK that is a 378 CI motor, very close to my 383 build.

I saw that about the C7 Corvette and it was more validation of my nearly 20 year old ideas.

Now to find a gear set in the ranges I am looking for.
