Description
4.1 v6, originally with non-lockup 3 speed non-overdrive auto. My grandfather bought it brand new and it's only got 36,000 miles on it. It's extremely comfortable. For a car 217.6" long by 74.6 inches wide, it sure is lightweight.
Modifications
5 speed manual transmission from a Chevy S10. .72:1 overdrive.

A.I.R. pump removed.

Slightly taller and wider rear tires than OEM (will switch with OEM size at times).

Some vacuum hose spaghetti rerouting.
Planned Modifications
I'd like to change the carburetor out for fuel injection, probably TBI for simplicity and ease of installation.

Partial belly pan. Can't block off the engine bay because the 4.1 is known for severe cooling needs, but there's some spaces that could use it in both the front and the rear.
