Im being told object another forum that headers and a 4bbl and later on an rv cam will make my fuel mileage go down. Even with just headers and 4bbl Its getting the summit G9040 headers and single 2.5" all the way back and I plan to use the 4bbl carb from the 85 dodge 4wd I scrapped. Im on the hunt for a cheap aluminum 4bbl to cut weight and plan to run an electric fan and would like to find some underdrive pulleys if they would really help and aren't to pricey. Also might swap to an aluminum radiator later and want to ditch the power windows to lose more weight. And eventually some aluminum wheels for even more weight reduction.

it's all in the tuning, but for mileage (at least highway mileage) it's hard to beat the stock lean burn setup.

the window regulators are riveted in, and door panels different from power to manual apps...would be way more work than the ~20lb weight savings is worth.

I was told its the same panel. Gay said it has the spot to knock out for the window crank already. I also don't want to spend $50+ when a motor goes out and the passenger side front is Slow going up.
Car Will see 80-90% highway use

Will do
I haven't bothered to look yet but where can I get the fuzzy strips etc for the windows. Driver window won't track right if if at speed and doesn't go in its groove
