engine and drivetrain 4hp22 update after about 1 month

[PatAllen]

The car is very cool, it is a true cruiser.

Just did a trip to Montreal, about 4 h total. Car cruises at 120kph (75mph) at 3000rpm with barely noticeable engine noise, not a single vibration at all, completely inert inside the car, but a lot of wind noise which is not that much disturbing.

Even with a low compression motor (8.1:1, 32/36), the car holds its speed fine on medium incline, didnt had to kick-down it at all during its trip on the highway.

Ive been stuck in trafic on the bridge and around MTl and it was keeping with the trafic without any problem at all. I had some thumbs up as well.

There is no reason at all to snob out the Automatic 02. Try mine and you

'l find out why. I ran much weak and slower manual 02 in my life for sure.

I was going to sell my automatic after the project car's completion but my wife said "No, I'm keeping Otto." Now I have another rebuild, yea!

[AndyS]

This is the way to go, Bill.

I presume the autoroute near Mt. Orford didn't pose any problems with its hills...

I'm from Lennoxville (I noticed that shot of your car one time on Haskell Hill Rd. - must have been near my brother's place). We used to own Fairview Farms, recently blown up by the government as I am sure you know...

Best,

yes, well near there, just behind that near newly named College street, i am near Seby's steak house. I am on Peel street, the only non asphalt road in Lennox...except haskel hill road. yes government took it all, you woldnt belive the scenery now when you passes near the Honda motorcycle dealer and Steve's carpet. There will be a exit there to reach the new highway. There is a bridge that erected right in the midle of the fields of Beaulieu's Farm.

Did you had any of theses cars when you where still at Lennox ? when did you left, your name defenitively tells me something now.
