Had some spare time after work tonight . . . and this was just sitting around the shop . . . so I decided to put it into my 1962 ragtop.
It is kinda overkill for my current engine setup, and I don't know if I will like the R/P ratio, so I probably will take it out again soon, but ya gotta agree . . . it sure looks badass!

Ya know, it was a LOOOOOONG day at work, and late when I wrote that....
What I should have said is . . . I put a couple layers of cardboard on the back seat of my 1962 ragtop before I placed the transaxle back there.
The Mendeola is fairly heavy, and the extra weight bogs down my 1600 going up the hills, so I will be removing it tomorrow! _________________ Jesucristo es mi Señor y Salvador! |
