there was two RL411s produced , one the SSS had a 4 spd. the other model had
the auto..
the 4 spdeed trans is shorter than the roaster trans ...
BTW I crambed a U20 solex 11.5 to 1 compression (1600 psitons) and 5
speed in a 411 back in 1980, put roadster suspention under it .. had a 411
limited slip in it too, the car is about the same size as a 1200 datsun and
much lighter than a roaster. Off the line it was a screemer, would blow
the doors off mustanes and camaros, I had it up to 130 mph on the roadster
gauge I had in it .. with the roaster suspension comp springs it had 4
inches ground clearance... handled good at high speeds .
