Thanks for pointing out what I omitted. Yes, we discovered afterwards, that indeed, the automatic 1200s came with enlarged tunnels. When we found the car in a wrecking yard (it was in
surprisingly good condition), turning it into a drag car wasn't even in our minds. If we had it to do all over again, the autoversion would be the best choice...but then again, for me and
my drag racing habbit, electric motors are now my choice :-0
When I recentlty changed from an 11 inch single motor to a pair of 8 inch motors, with the motors connected together end-to-end, the longish settup has the rear-most motor actually slipping
deep into the tranny tunnel...good thing I don't need to use a tranny!
See Ya....John Wayland
