This is my quandary. I have the original motor in it and got it running again not so well because it was so full of sludge from sitting for so many years, or actually was running fine with a knock. with a 3-speed transmission three on the tree of course and it has a small pencil size stock rear end with these quilly shock things I've seen like on Wheeler Dealer on old cars. I would just really like to take this the carl from here in Oregon to Florida with my wife drive to New York or wherever as we retire and I would really like a nice reliable drivetrain that I could get parts for if I needed to. I even have the original 3-speed overdrive transmission which was a one-year only for that car and another rebuilt motor but of course it that was 30 years ago. that it was rebuilt so it would have to be taken apart again. I just don't know if I want this Old motor in there with the unavailability of any part and wanting to travel cross-country as I get older.
