Curious
In all honesty, the answers you were looking for probably isn't in the old skool stuff. I mean, if your looking for 24 mpg, 650 hp, FI, A/C, and all this, that and the other, you'd be better off getting a hellcat engine.
Really, to be fair, it would be like me going to a "Chevelle only" site, and tell them I have a hellcat motor for my '68 chevelle, and what 350 or 396 or even a 454 will beat my hellcat motor, and oh, by the way, I want 24 mpg, cruise 80 in the interstate all day, and run mid 10's, have A/C, blah blah blah....
and if somebody offers something, tell them "theirs will not be as reliable", or "get the gas mileage",
So thus the reason of threads like this taking a nose dive, becoming nonsense...
