Going back to the 5 speed makes sense, rather than cutting the seat. You can add a Hurst looking shifter and few will notice.

My ego would struggle changing a car you describe so flattering as setting the high water mark for speed in your stable. Wish you all the luck you need on the next phase of the project.HW38E </div></div>

You are right Paul as far as the heads are concerned. My feeling, given the size of the engine, that should cover a fair amount. I have a cam in mind for this................but we are going back to the engine builder ultimately.

The bronze gear..............cannot get more than a summer out of it with a fair amount of debris in the oil, time to move on.

FWIW, yeah............my ego has a hard time taming this down. Again, the car is stupid fast and draws a crowd damn near every where we go.

The car is just silly fun [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]
