As long as you drive it halfway sensibly (don't do hard launches with sticky tires, etc.) you should be alright. I didn't follow the advice I just gave out and it cost me a transmission. Those trannys are only rated at 300 ft/lbs of torque. I know that's more than the 230 that the L36 puts out but the sudden shock of hard launches with sticky tires often puts more stress than the tranny can handle. May not go the first time, or the second, but eventually it WILL go if you drive it like that. If I ever get a V6 4th gen again I'm either swapping in a TKO 5 speed or using an adapter to swap in a T56. I do plan on eventually doing a RWD L67 build and it will definitely be a T56 behind it.

Pacer
PACER ? DID SOME SAY PACER :p.. OH MY GOD .. AND SOMEONE WANTED ONE RESTORED NOW THATS FUNNY. I DON'T WHAT YOU SAY. NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO MAKE THAT THING LOOK GOOD. EXCEPT SELL IT NO OFFENSE. I wonder how the designer of that car career went ? .. I think he designed the Edsel also.

I am somewhat surprised you younger guys didn't know the Pacer. It had a starring role in the movie Wayne's World. In my opinion the Pacer seems to get less ugly as it ages. I don't want one but they are not that bad anymore.
Thanks for all the best wishes on the upcoming addition to my family. I am starting to get excited about it. In the beginning I was not a happy camper when Susan told me we had another accident. I have a hard time buying three accidents in four years. I just didn't want to be a new Daddy again with the big 50 staring me in the face. Oh well.
I hope everyone is having a good evening..

I kinda thought Wayne's 1orld was one of those cult classics like Rocky Horror Picture Show that everybody watches but isn't really sure why.
