Thanks, Jimmy 6.
Yes, that information does help.
For the first time in my life, I'm building a car that I don't intend to use as a dual purpose vehicle. (drag race/street)I'm gearing toward something that doesn't use a lot of fuel, but will be unique and fun to drive. A comfortable cruising speed of 65 mph, while getting good economy, is my goal. 40 mpg would be fantastic! I'm comparing between the most desirable attributes of the Datsun and BMC drive trains. Since the Crosely has it's original engine, I can drive it while deciding which of the more powerful engines I'm gonna ultimately end up with.
Thanks, Dennis
