[Shotimes] When did we last discuss 3.4 > MTX?

[Al Fitz]

The sub frames of the GEN II and GEN III are very close to the same size.
The ATX in the GEN III could easily be replaced with an MTX as far as space
is concerned. The 3.4 does not have the same bolt pattern as the 3.0, but
like you said, an adaptor could be made. I guess the 3.4 could be installed
in any SHO. Converting the GEN II from ATX to MTX is made easier by having
the mechanical connections, like the clutch pedal mounts already there. For
the GEN III, there would be some fair amount of fabricating to do. It sounds
like an interesting project and I'd love to see it happen.
