Well, wish I could do that. I didn't take pictures of it when it was on the lift. Wish I had. Just try to picture a black 3.75 inch diameter driveshaft about 4 1/2 feet longconnected to the tranny driving straight down to the differential at a slight angle downward and you've got it.

Cool. I think the next big Mod will be an aluminum flywheel and a stage 3 clutch kit.

Sherwood if you don't mind me asking, how much for drive shaft and how much for install? I think the spyder alum is about $500, am I right, anyone?

the reason those small motors rev up faster, is becouse they are geared shorter.

What do you mean by geared? As in the rearend? I'm assuming by rev everyone means how fast the tach goes from idle to redline when not moving or with the clutch pedal pressed in.

I thought the revving up they were talking about was with the car in gear...acceleration. He should have quicker acceleration with less torsional drag on the engine now.
