RE: W-code '68 to 4 speed..
By Royce Peterson - 03/24/2002 4:24:40 PM; IP 205.188.200.145
Hi Mike,

I have two W Code GTE's so one can stay stock while the other is for fun stuff. The green car 's original motor was sold to a Cobra kit owner long before my ownership so I don't have to worry about destroying numbers matching authenticity, nor am I ever likely to sell it. I have always loved 4 speeds and think that is the direction to head for reliability too.

The rear springs originally were 5 leaf extremely stiff units. They were sacked out when I bought the car so a custom made set was fabricated to give it less deflection and better stance. I also have bolt in Total Control Products frame connectors installed as the car was twisting noticeably when launching without them. I also have installed Lakewood traction bars and new front coils that were wound shorter to compensate for the aluminum Edelbrock heads and give it the right stance in front.
