Bernie, a fuel injected big cube torque monster of an engine coupled to an overdrive tranny and a numerically low rearend gear ratio could probably give surprisingly good performance and fuel economy numbers in a light car like our Cobras. If the engine was cammed to make max power at a reasonably low RPM, you could still have satisfying acceleration when needed and relatively economical higher speed cruising on the open road. Remember that many of the truisms that apply to normal cars are not necessarily applicable in Cobras because of the massive power to weight ratio we enjoy.
