It’s on flea bay. I’ve offered it here 3 times previously with no response but feel like I should at least mention that I’ve listed it on EBay at this time.
No one has offered to buy it or have shown any serious interest.
I’ve heard the “junkyard slant 6” suggestion so much it’s ridiculous. There’s no such thing in my area. A good used slant 6 in the junkyard is getting scarce in 2023. I’m not putting a used engine in this car without tearing it...
I’ll have to agree with you on that. It did have decent take off for what it is. A numerically lower gear would hurt that.
But, it might not live “at”70 mph but it lives “in” 2023. I’ve driven the car on the interstate where traffic is going no less than 80 and I wished I had just one more...
It’s perfect for backroads and hills. On the interstate where the speeds are closer to 80 just to keep up, not so much. The small tires and cam profile on this build are not ideal for 3.55. Typically, when I think “highway gear” I think of something in the 2.76 range.
