[Tigers] Gas Milage

[michael king]

Duke,

The other advantage of the 5 speed is not just saving in MPG.. but also
engine life.. and when you go to that stroker eventually.. it might well all
shake out for you... but in real terms.. we dont buy these cars to save on
gas :-) .. or perhaps convert it to a Series V 1725... you can probably get
32mpg and should fit in a tiger engine bay without to many mods!!
