When putting in an engine that cranks out way more power than the original
engine, should someone be careful of wrecking the tail end drive train?
wouldn't this tend to put too much of a strain on the tranny and the rear
axle?
Just curious....
On a side note, I may be in the market for 2 front fenders for a 69' 2000.
There was a guy in the LA area that had 2 for $80 each, but I deleted his
e-mail. if you pick up this message, can you shoot a note back to me? If
anyone else has a pair of fenders in the SF bay arean around the same price,
i would be interested.
Thanks,
Dave
