Hi All,
This is my first post to this list but I feel like I know many of you 
after years of lurking here. Public thanks go to Mark for the most 
useful lists on the Internet.

I'm about halfway on rebuilding my 71 GT6. This is the second make 
over since I bought it in 1988.

I'm puzzled by the commission number on the motor, there is no 
number! The designation is ME2ESS. I've been told that the ME2 refers 
to a crate motor ordered and delivered with the original car. May or 
may not be urban legend but still doesn't explain the ESS. The motor 
has the domed pistons. The car was delivered to Tucson Arizona when 
new and has never been registered outside Arizona.

Any ideas?

I'm planning on putting in the Miata/MX5 seats for comfort. I going 
to be driving a lot of long distance miles and I am getting to old to 
go the distance in seats designed in the 60's.

I have located a nice set of '97 seats with speakers at the right 
price but I'm unsure if the post '95 seats have the same tracks and 
seat size. Has anyone done this? I've only seen the pre '95 seats 
mounted.
