New engine, transaxle
Work Done:
Replaced engine with dual port 1600cc. Kept the old alternator, carbeurator, and fuel pump. Replaced stock transmission with a '67 swing axle transmission from a Type 3, which has a wider wheel base. Repaired the front transmission mount.
Notes:
Had wrecked the old transmission towing the truck off of I-10 when it crapped out. This is a real shame since so many people had learned to drive stick on that tranny (myself, my wife, my aunt, Mom, and uncle). Since we had to replace the transmission, we replaced the original 1200 engine with a larger 1600cc. My original engine eventually went to Tasha's Bug.
Cost:
$1050 (Engine $600, transmission $100, labor $300, tax $50)
(pd. $100 2/2, $600 2/11, $150 2/18, $50 2/25, $150 3/1)
