Lower rpm doesn't necessarily yield better efficiency. The 4l80e would have a .75OD (25% drop) then the GV would be .78 (22% additional drop). So if you were @ 2600rpm @ 65, that combo would yield around 1500rpm @ the same speed. I'm guessing most BBC's want 2K or better to breathe.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
