Wouldn't be the first time I've left engine parts on the kitchen table, I rebuilt an air cooled beetle engine on a Black and Decker workmate in my old flat.
My other half wasn't bothered at all.
Yep, she was a keeper

Well, my engine build is on hold at the moment as chassis and suspension work is taking up a lot of time and money.
It also turns out I've got a 3.91 gear in the diff if this little label is anything to go by. it looks like I might have to add a 3.23 gear to the shopping list at some point so I can get some decent milage out of this thing, after all, its a 'camper' (sort of).

keep that a whack a mustang t5 in it ...:)

get the v6 one with the truck like 1st and a 0.73 Overdrive

or the AX aisin warner that they used in the dodge trucks a bellhousing from 318 to the aisin warner exists makes it easier than the t5

you can then keep your rear end for sprightly acceleration but have an overdrive that MIGHT allow a little more than 55 MP on the motorway

gotta be better than a 3 speed

you'd kick the ass of any split window VW

i come here to plant seeds, that will empty your wallet :)
