Just found this thread.
Happy to see such a reasonable attitude towards number of gears.
I do think the 5-speed will be excessive.
My personable opinion only, but I think you should have gone with a top-loader (originality factor) with a GearVendors Overdrive unit attached. This would have given you an overdrive, kept the transmission choice 'original' in keeping with the car, and given you an 8 speed transimission (and how many here have that?).
My opinion only.

I've compared them head to head. You obviously haven't if you have to ask if the aluminum is rolled over the tubing in the new series al-u-mini-um cars.

Why would I be picking up brochures? I'm not shopping for a replica.
Glad to see you agree with me that the replicas are indeed different than the originals. Whether you say 'better quality' or I say 'that's the way it actually was', doesn't matter, what matters is that they are demonstrably(sp?) and noticeably different. Works for me.
What is your CSX2xxx number?
