It would be rather difficult to put a few truck tires in a Honda or a Pacer for that matter. Although easier in the pacer.... I need a full size pickup truck for my beater... Just considering the best mileage. Lighter running gear than the 6 cylinder and so on. Might try it. May do it in a different than Ram pickup.

Lets see now, a purple pacer, with a racing defroster scoop, four inch exhaust with a coffee can tip. Maybe spinner hubcaps. Might look right at home in some parts of Alabama....

 

first one should weigh the dakota. my brother-in-laws club cab weighs within 50 lbs. of my 82 1/2 ton with a 5.9 in it. with my mods i get 18-19 in town all the time. they both weigh 4400 plus. i think economy mods i could get 24- 25 in town empty.

 

LMAO

 

Haulin - Sounds like a good idea. I saw a 4bt in a Jeep Wrangler once. It was sweet, and put together top rate. And that purple pacer with spinners would get jacked down here in Montgomery. BTW, I just ran up to Chicago and back, brought a nice show tractor back down. Only pulling about 7,000 lbs (enclosed trailer & tractor). I averaged 13.9 mpg (no joke). Course I was set at 65 mph ... I really hate paying for fuel at $3 a gallon.

I'm just curious about your fuel mileage. You probably are haulin' it as fast as you (safely) can though. But I'm curious.

What happened to the Gremin???

 

Maybe I could get a Yugo from Scottie....

 

Nah, condo cab, 13.6 high, 75 feet long, 500 hp N14, set cruise at 65 to 67, sit back and enjoy the ride, no shifting. I get 7 1/2 to 8 average.

 

Pacer's were wind-tunnel designed and are still some of the most aerodynamic vehicles around. They still were pretty tough, though. A lot more solid than Pinto's and Vega's...

Altough you can get the kit for putting the 4BT in the Gremlin, wheras I think the Pacer would be a lot more difficult since you couldn't use a Jeep frame.

And I swear that I specified that you need a moped to get the PETA chicks. Gosh people, would it kill you to listen?

 

Cuz it doesn't have a Cummins!

And, what's wrong with an AMC? I have an Eagle parked out in the pasture. With roof peeled back it makes a great hay bin.

 

Why would you need a moped??? I would think anybody that goes to a People for the Eating of Tasty Animals meeting would drive a truck.... Where else are they gonna throw that deer they just shot? What am I missing?
