Re: C10 Build - what's the latest/greatest swap for best mileage?
5.3 4l60e 3.73s 17mpg pulling my boat 70mph. Plenty of fun, cheap easy and proven swap, runs the quarter in 14.7 seconds.
If money is no object you could probably swap the entire drivetrain from a new prius.
If you really don't care about power a diesel from a forklift would probably get really good mileage.
If you just want to save money a tune up on whatever you have is usually the cheapest route, depending on how much you drive an engine swap can take a long time to pay for itself.
