Also the new setup would require modifying the shifter , wiring , and all the incidentals that make vehicle work . It can be done but it's a major job ! Keep us updated !
Well my goal is to strip the car of any unnecessary weight, which is already done, and then modify the current engine or swap it out for another engine for better economy. No I dont have a particular engine in mind. The engine will need to be swapped soon anyways because its on its last legs.
