i think i gave up on anything of mine getting good gas mileage. Ive been driving my wifes Scion XA lately. It's nice getting 30mpg out of an automatic, no matter how we drive
i voted for 3800 swap btw

P.S. A low power Olds 307/200-4R w/2.56:1 gears will get you at least 17mpg. Ask me how I know. :wink:
For starters, I'd just invest in an overdrive transmission that'll fit the 260, let that 260 breathe with a good exhaust and intake, tune it up, and see where that gets you.
While you're driving that back and forth to school, plan out your engine swap.
DRIVEN said:If you plan to run the 260 for a while I wouldn't put an overdrive behind it without going to lower gears. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing.
