Visit to Vintage Motorcars, Hawaiian Gardens Ca.

Went down to VMC on Friday to get some measurements and ideas for the Spyder. While there Greg showed me an outlaw speedster with a Subaru Engine and transaxle in it. He raised the engine a little more to get the shorter oil pan even higher for safety. This is not a mid engine installation so the space behind the front seats is still intact. What was really cool is how the clutch cable and Bowden tube are moved and re-secured. Also the shifter and linkage work perfect. Since a little of the sheet metal had to be trimmed due to the new overall height of the engine and trans, a new cover for that area had to be fabricated. It looks similar to a little saddle but is centered so it divides the seating area back there into two little mini seats ! Quite clever and will look nice and finished.....Photo's below............Bruce
