The old setup had to go because it consisted of a tall geared bug tranny (3.88 and big tires with a gutless engine = no no) and the engine was a1600 dual port but had a 1500 single port carb adapted to it. It ran out of breath by 4k and had an annoying flat spot just off idle. It only had power between 2k and 3k. Above or below was gutless.
I picked up a 3 rib bus tranny 002 model from a '77 or so. It has the extra mounting ears on top of the bellhousing if you know what I'm talking about. It should have a much better 5.37 or something ratio. and a mounting kit a KEP adaptor and flywheel (used, obviously) |

Stock port timing. I rounded the sharp 90° edges and left a rough surface. I can't wait to see how it performs. |

All done.
Test fitting a spare rear plate and a beehive oil cooler. I had to pound the sheet metal in a little. Why use a beehive you ask? They work fine if you know what you're doing. Far easier to deal with as well since there is no seperate oil cooler to install, plumb lines, fab cooling fans for it etc. Ready to install. In. |
