There will always be a need for a well done 'sleeper.' I only wish my mechanical skills and garage were suitable to make my own.

Gas mileage depends mostly on the rear end gearing because of the large amount of torque developed by the V8s.

It would even be fun to do the European trick of installing a 3L six and a manual transmission in an older Volvo, keeping the entire car Volvo.
