Car was a 318 car. I put the 340 in it 35 years ago. I got the car in high school and would like to make it fun again.
we get spoiled with modern cars. mini vans are in the 14's and get 25mpg with a/c
I want fast, reliable, drive anywhere, so I probably have to break the piggy bank open

Just my opinion, but the single biggest reason new cars are like that is overdrive and EFI. A BP engine with their EFI intake and the Holley PCM is a good part of that, but I would want OD as well. Nothing worse than buzzing at 3K and still having to stick to the slow lane.

My G3 swap includes a T56 and I expect to cruise at 1500 rpm at 65 mph just like my '15 Challenger R/T used to.
