Hi Jay,
> Thats where I'm trying to take my car and keep it street legal.
To continue to run in a stock or street prepared class in SCCA
autocross, you can't change the tranny. I didn't really care about that
since my race car is a 72 Datsun 510.

I can understand your concern for the cost. The 510 doesn't get much use
lately and the biggest reason is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

If you ever get a chance to take one out on the road, do it. The
difference is RPMs in top gear makes for a much more comfortable ride.

Yes, the 4.22 will be much more competitive. Wish I could find one
cheap. I've got one that is welded up but I'd like to have one for the
street too.
