Like you I would like to make modifications that are not readilly apearent.
I have not decided exacly what I am going to do, but I am sure that I will
never be satisfied with the stock performance. But I really like the looks
of a clean Spitfire.
I am very interested in the rear end modifications that were nessicary for
your engine swap. If you can tell me any specifics I would appreciate it.
And I am not really looking to make a funny car. But some of my friends
have told me that I am a Horse Power Junkie.
Thanks
