Yeah, all I think it needs is some ghost stripes and my butt in the driver's poz. I'm thinking that the first time the clutch needs work I might swap the Richmond for a well-chosen toploader. A five-speed with a top gear of 1:1 is wasted in something with a torque curve as wide as this, unless you like to row to your destinations. :P
Maybe a full fire suppression system. Hmm.

I think you'll probably like the Richmond with the 2.88 gears. I have a 0.82 5th gear with my TKO and 3.42 gears, so on the freeway, we're about the same. To me, it's perfecto.
The only thing I would change would be the red spark plug wires.
Otherwise, I wouldn't change touch a thing.
