150 miles is a good spin. Nice work glad to hear its behaving. Keep driving it, it will continue to get better with miles. They don't like to sit, and from the sound of it, this one has sat for awhile.

Sorry, I find modern engine swaps revolting. Keep your G, R, or U series in your Roadster!

Short shifter install/lesson given to me for Christmas by cktrap. Ripping around in the roadster, stopped by and he and I had it done in minutes. Easy job for two, not so much for one. To me there is no question which looks better. Sin City's short shifter (AAA+++) with a NIB "Nefertiti hat" shift knob. Now shifts tight. Way way better. Thanks much again Keith!

The short lever does make a big difference as does the heavier stock shift knob. It seems strange, but little things like this can make a huge difference in driving enjoyment.
