[Spridgets] 948--1098---1275---Bigger?

[Mike Rivers]

I have a stock 1275.  I understand that the early 1098's (10CG) throw rods because they have smaller mains.  The later 1098's (10CC) are improved and are great.  If you have the later 1098, I'd leave it.  I hear they rev very nice, even better than a 1275 in that aspect.  Also, keep the stock transmission setup, not worth the trouble and non-reversible destructive mods to the car.  The only real benefit is gaining a little more driveablility at freeway speeds.
