Hello, I've had this thread bookmarked for a while. Love the truck / swap.

I am wondering though, your goal was 20+ MPG on the way to work (which I assume is highway) did it meet the goal? What did the truck end up getting? It's all steel and 60's aerodynamics.. but the 6-speed should have helped a little.

I swapped an 87 Rx7 to an LS1 , T-56 and get 27 ish MPG highway at 80 mph on flat land.. so I'm asking cause I wouldn't mind finding an ok truck and doing an LQ4 swap on it.

Great fab and great threat!
