Dimensions notwithstanding, that is too much weight IMO.

Regardless of the T-bat diameter, one [of many] weak points in such a plan is the rear anchor point for the T-Bar.

Hypermiling a /6 can get you close to your mpg goal, and not upset the apple cart to the degree you are contemplating.



or search the archives for Hodroddave40's "super-duper gas mileage 318"

basically take a 318, 0 deck with KB167's, run 302's or magnum heads (I'd go magnum), a small solid or hydraulic (he used a stock 273 solid cam, I'd probably go hydraulic with a lunati voodoo 60400), stock 4bbl or performer intake, and a small t-quad. tranny, use an A833OD with a 3.23 or 2.94 rear, auto, use a low gear lockup 904 with a 2.45 or 2.76 rear.
