need help choosing a wagon

Knowing that you have a '95 Cadillac Fleetwood why not try out a '91-'96 GM B body wagon? Your D body Caddy is basically the same platform as a Chevy Caprice or Buick Roadmaster. Good luck with the search.

SSSOOOO! Have you decide on one???

 

Just out of curiosity, what kinds of mods would you have to make to the 351 to get that good of mpg?

 

still havent purchased anything but am intrigued by the post from MikeT about getting similar mpg out of a 351W as a Focus

 

Change the 2 bbl VV carb to an Edelbrock Performer and 1401 square bore carb, and put on a good 2 1/4 inch dual exhaust with high flow mufflers. Other than that, just choose good tires. My 89 Grand Marquis sedan did that mileage right off the show room floor, and my brother's 86 Colony Park was still doing that at almost 500,000 miles.

 

thanks for the info mike

 

I have a 460 out of an old '71 Continental. I'm wondering if that could be modified to get any type of reasonable mpg.

 

My current project is to get an engine into Bertha, the 78. Either a 400 like the original, or the 460. Since I can easily drive 1,000 miles a week, you better believe that serious fuel economy is in the plans!
