My G-body is my daily driver that I use to keep the miles off my new truck. I love the 350 that is in it, but the 200 miles per tank is kind of annoying. That got me to wondering what drivetrain I could put in that would push me to 30 mpg.
I was thinking a 2.2 Ecotec hooked to a T5 5 speed would get killer fuel mileage and could be upgraded as time and money becomes available to put 300 hp or more out to get the best of both worlds.
This could be done fairly cheaply too as there are small GM cars everywhere in junkyards for the engine and computer, as well as V6 bolt pattern T5 transmissions.
This is my version of perfect. What is yours?
