The FO is in the '79 now, but I don't know the ratios or how it =
performs. I bought the car as-is, and haven't had any real road time =
with it. Thanks, jeff

I have heard only good things about Eastwood. Also, why do you want =
an FO tranny? For performance you should almost definately go with a 4K =
or 2H. HTH,=20

Thanks for all the responses, and no new info on the seat situation.
I was thinking of powder coating the calipers, but as I understand =
you would
need to rebuild the calipers afterwards. I have never rebuilt =
calipers, and
don't know about kits and part sources. It wouldn't hurt to build =
them
anyway, for longevity. I did see some nifty stuff here for the =
rotors, and
they also have caliper paints.

I didn't want to rattle can the calipers, as I plan on keeping this =
car for
a very long time. And the FLAPS rattle cans say "for best results =
heat to
400* for x hours".
The squareness issue is just that, ABA vs 3A. I want to build a =
motor, and
was wondering about weight between the two blocks, as weight and F/R =
balance
is a major issue for me, and what real world differences do the =
stroke vs
bore issues make. I will be building from scratch, so everything is =
a
consideration, and ideas are welcome.
A new issue is exhaust size, I want to upgrade the current stock =
size,1.6
engine, but don't want to lose too much bottom end. I also want to =
be
prepared for the upcoming larger engine size. I thought about 2.25 =
with a
more restrictive muffler, for the 1.6. Later with the new engine, =
install
new muffler, then only eating the muffler cost and not two exhausts.
I have looked for this tranny code, with no luck, anyone enlighten =
me? "FO
20029"
Thanks for the time Jeff
