I can't help but agree. I'm sure ANYTHING is possible with a sufficient
amount of money and elbow grease applied. Nationalist sentiments aside,
it would probably be a lot easier to transplant an inline Ford 6
cylinder like a 200 or 250 which was both available and plentiful at
that time. With appropriate tweaking, those engines CAN be quite fuel
efficient with the old single barrel carbs.
Keep in mind that your time is allegedly also worth something. So
spending a month trying to shoehorn in a more fuel efficient engine
might not be the big money saver that you think.
Lastly, I suspect the original post was a joke....but ya' never know....
Cheers,
