Thx for the clarification. Yes, that's exactly what I mean. I cringe seeing a chevy motor in a classic Pontiac as much as anyone.
The other big variable is compression. Many late model cars of all makes run relatively high c.r.'s. 10:1 or better. This is more a function of combustion chamber design and other variables not so easy to bolt on.
Also, I meant to say 20mpg with late model trans but of course ymmv with trans choice.
