I have just posted a new Thread over in the Shelby Inc site - Manufacturers. But notice that Posts and visits are few and far apart..
So thought I would ask the same - stupid - question about economy over here.
I say stupid question, but it is a consideration with fuel/ gas costs and this Australian Governments new Climate Change tax..
Fuel here is now $1.46 per litre - about $6.00 US a gallon. So short of running electric it is a costly exercise.
My GT40 runs a 302 stroker at 347 and returns average fuel/gas economy in light highway driving of 21 - 22MPG.
I am looking at buying a 427 Shelby aluminum crate engine for a Cobra project and was wondering what experiences you guys have had with these motors and plain old fuel economy - if this exists..
I would be interested in seeing your thoughts or your own experience with tuning for economy or stating the obvious that... I am dreaming that 427 and economy go in the same sentence..
Thanks guys for your thoughts on this. I could be convinced to go smaller with a stroker again..
Thanks
Bernie
