Yep. Or seeing only 2,000 rpm on the tach at 70mph,,with 4.11 cogs. <g> Clint Hooper H&H Custom,owner 1969 El Camino ProTourer 2001 H-D FLHR custom bagger http://dalesplace.com/misc/friends/clint/clint_hooper.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: Crazy Rusty There’s something about shifting into sixth doing 70 and seeing your rpm hover just a few hundred above idle.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Heiser   Borlas on a LS1 sound pretty cool too. I live in both worlds--LS1 6 speed in the C5 and 454s in both the Elky and 66. For cruising can't beat the former--combined ~29 mpg between here (western Oregon), Yellowstone, and back. A buddy has successfully put LS series engines in gen 1 camaros, tri-fives, and other prods from the General with great results and happy customers. Hard to argue with, all things considered. __________________________________ Mike Heiser 1966 Chevelle SS | 1969 Chevelle Malibu | 1969 El Camino Chevelle & El Camino Club of Oregon, ACES, Team Chevelle   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: The Chevelle Mailing List <Chevelle-list@chevelles.net> To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Gas Mileage Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2006 17:54:51 EDT But the "Wow!" factor of opening the hood and seeing a big block is hard to beat.  Plus, there's no better sound than hearing the rumble of a BBC. Just my humble opinion.   Besides, if it's a weekend toy what's an extra $5 to play?   Eric   Save time by starting a search from any Web page with the MSN Search Toolbar-FREE!
