FOT members, I am at my breaking point with transmissions for my racing TR4=
, six rebuilds in past 4 years, the last 4 professionally. I try to keep my=
 car as original as possible, but this is costing too much, and I am missin=
g too much track time at races.

For RACING only, can anyone give me pros and cons of the conversion. Lookin=
g at the Vitesse Mazda conversion.

I know it is not "legal for vintage" but I still want to race and within my=
 budget!!  (Don't know what my budget is)

Thanks, Mike
