[Healeys] Toyota 5 speed

[dwflagg at juno.com]

Thanks Tom!! I'm sure Rich would have said the same thing!! doug

and I'm sure I can find a more powerful engine that weighs less, can find a neat AC system and cruise control.  But, there is something to be said for an original Healey with all its drawbacks.

The Toyota Transmission weighs about 75 pounds less, has less parastitic drag drag on the engine (more power to the road), and a reverse light switch.
