Re: Gen III/IV Chevy LS motor swap fuel mileage
Ever considered an aftermarket FI controller with an LS swap? The stock ECU is a pain to retrofit but companies like MSD have kits that replace the stock ECU with an easy to wire easy to tune setup. They even have a carburetor retrofit kit that I might consider for me next Jeep.

Re: Gen III/IV Chevy LS motor swap fuel mileage
I have really considered an aftermarket system. My buddy is running a turboed lq4 in his '73 Camaro, he is selling it and swapping in an l33 (Aluminum thick block 5.3, which drops him into a different weight class for some wonky 235/60r15 drag radial outlaw class that he is set on running. If his father does not gobble it up I will (Without the turbo stuff) and decide if it goes into the Camaro and the fresh mild vortec 350 goes into the wagoneer with a different cam (howards 180325-10 is in it 224/231 on a 110 lsa .525/.531 lift, is just a little too soggy down low for the Wagoneer towing without a lot more rear gear or into the Wagoneer, probably with the same cam swap and rear gears.. haha.
