[QUOTE="adventure_advocate, post: 2699776, member: 35983"] Yeah, something definitely did go wrong. I've heard rumors of carb'd cars back in the 50-60s that got 50+ mpg, so why isn't that the case now? I would love to know, but it's probably like you said, they keep them low on purpose. Oil owns all, afterall. Also, you can mate a 5.3 up to the old trannies with adapter plates, so no need to buy a tranny, just need a motor and harness, which can be had for less than $500. [/QUOTE]
