yes it's Maxi or he might be using the name 1275gt,
unfortunately Maxi's build has been fraught with set backs, and as yet I think is still not finished :(

short block engines have 8v heads
big blocks have the 16v

the fuel economy would not be that bad, if you go injected you can tailor the system to your driving style.
