why not just buy a fox with a 6cyl already in it? you can get them for dirt cheap because noone wants one.

they dropped the V6 in 1986. and most of them have problems by now.


OP, easiest way would be to convert to a carb'd setup, but they you have the problems on cold morenings and such. have you ocnsidered a SVO model? same, or better, gas then a sixxer would get, with similar power.

if your main concern is gas milage than you should save the money on the swap and just go out and buy an economy car. it will be much easier and probably cheaper.
