Hi List
Things are kinda slow here at work so I thought I would sneak an e-mail.
I didn't realize the number of responses I would get (about 45 e-mails and
still coming) and the kind of advice there is out there. Thanks to some sage
advice, I don't think I'll be getting into a more modern motor.
After sending out my request for info the other day. I took the car out for a
spin. Had it going somewhere's between 85 and 90 MPH across a straight stretch
of highway about 5-6 miles long (no RCMP around, so I let her go!!! "Way
cool" !!!!! Never had her going that fast before. Had it hard to the floor
though :-). Not too shabby, eh? Better at the top end than bottom. Maybe I
should leave well enough alone. Hubby says that there is a lot more to it
than just dropping in a different motor & transmission. Stuff about wiring
harness, some sort of hydraulics for the gauges, to name a few, he says. But
I really want to have something that is as original as possible.
I will keep everybody's e-mail and will contact those who had provided me with
approximate costs, etc.
PS, for those of you who had asked, I live in Dorchester, New Brunswick,
Canada..about 3.5 hours drive from the Calais, ME border. Looks like there's
lots of motors & tranny in Calif.
Thanks for you help.
