Sounds nice! Of course I'm not planning on changing the original setup
on my MGA, but if the trans ever needs replacing, an OD would be a nice
alternative. Anybody put/seen an OD in an MGA? How about a non-MGA engine?
(Not that I would ever do such a thing -- but I would like to hear about
it if it's been done. Especially if it's something crazy. Hmmm -- 130hp.)
