I agree about the slant six, but the only one I have had was in a vehicle that weighed 7500lb tare.
But it had a Carter sidedraft carb and a four-speed floor shift.
Our local Congresscritter drove a 1964 Dodge Dart for decades, likely still does.

I believe this will only work on cars where the engine makes good low RPM torque.

Rotating mass. John Karcey's 50MPG Karmann Ghia had a 50lb pulley from a Jaguar. The basic recipe is square bore/stroke ratio, high reciprocating mass, electronic ignition and low friction lubricants.
