I'm shooting for an ultra-reliable, fuel efficient, fun to drive, comfortable vehicle that can survive the next Carrington event.

..any other ideas to make it more efficient or more better ...
Whatever color it is, an Ultrawhite roof would reduce AC load. The whites that radiate heat in direct sunlight aren't durable, but there are coating that reflect 95%.

When you do the engine swap, take special care with the ducting in the engine compartment (for cooling efficiency.

Good luck, I still miss my 1979 Dasher diesel. I don't think I'll ever get it back.
