However the customer also decided at a later stage to improve the handling and go further by changing the gearbox to a Tremec 5 speed manual (from automatic).
After some problems were identified with the existing engine, which would have required a few smaller repairs to do at least another turn, the customer decided to go the whole hog and get a replacement crate motor.
So in stage two the following work is underway:
Insulation/Sound Deadening
Suspension Upgrades, Including Shelby Drop to improve handling.
Tremec 5 Speed Manual Conversion (From automatic)
Engine Upgrade to Blueprint supplied crate Motor.
