I like your recommendations George.
Nice recommendation for a nice engine but don't forget a vacuum advance for the distributor. It's good for at least a couple of mpg.
If I might add this could be a good application for the Australian 2v iron heads.
You could substitute dished pistons for the flat tops and keep it around 9:1 compression.
I think the smaller ports could help on mileage a little. I'm wondering if a higher compression would help mileage too? Granted it may not be worth the tradeoff for the more expensive Premium fuel.
It's just a thought. Carry on hey.
