Hey Richard,

Congratulations, you are definitely in the category of a can do person!

It had to happen in my opinion with the JBL, (a wider engine that is) as your car is a high tech unit as far as handling and build, some say a Cobra hotrod. The modular engine does solve the California problems, and I guess is as light or lighter than my all alloy 351 engine, and possibly more reliable and dare I say it Economical. I wonder about the chassis stiffness, as your chassis appears to be much the same front scuttle to rear of car, apart from going back to front double A arms, and less stressed skin in the front framework, as you say its designed to be less stiff more of a sportsman chassis.

John M,
Hang in there buddy and keep all your hard work for a while, see what you have done with your Boss JBL modifications to Richards thinking, but the modular will have to get some firepower before it keeps up with your little monster!
