you know Beaner, you just made me realize that gas mileage has never been brought up on all the conversations about the v6 to v8 swap. Looks like mileage will be cut in half for that added HP....I wouldn't have thought it to be that drastic of a drop, but it is....I like to travel some with these little cars, so if I were to do this, that would definitely be more of my weekend drag car. Changes my outlook on the conversion now.
