Zeniths, and part of my strong distaste for carbs.... BUT a 220Sb
with dual solexes would do 18 MPG.
Larry may know more, But I'd guess an M130 with the zeniths tossed in
favor of webers could be tuned to do 18 MPG.
I tuned a 10 MPG truck once to get 15-16 on the road. I only changed
the jetting.
But then I can take a 6-8 mpg truck and get 100 MPG with it (with NO
physical changes) Just a difference of driving style.
No idea about the SBC, but if you set up and properly adjust either
the Zenith or Solex carbs, these models, especially the M130 with
Zeniths, will pull stumps.
Their downfall is the crappy gas mileage. Of all the cars I owned
with the M130, I never, ever got better than about 14 MPG. And that
was in a 1970 230C, that was one of the most fun MBs I ever owned.

Ok, sacrilage maybe, but would a SBC fit under the hood in a 78
123 coupe without huge issues?
My recollection is that these old inline 6 MB engines were thirsty
without being all that powerful.

M130 with dual Zeniths or an M123(?) which is like a later M130
with a Solex 4A1.

So, what engine would be in a 78 123 gasser?
I am assuming an inline 6 cylinder?
Carbs?
Problems?
