I don't think you can flash a differential ratio in the transmission unless you have it on board the Starship Enterprise & use the replicator.

Looks kinda like an updated Rivvey to me!

WOW the memories are flooding back Thanx Delta!

Shows off it's lines real nice in chrome, but I'd love to see it in black chrome

+1 also but when in the hell are we EVER going to get a viable diesel option with that manual

No me either, but think how much longer they could've gone on Synthetic

I like your full size Poncho idea and like Olds said the DI I4 late model sounds good to deliver as much torque as possible. Other than opting for a small diesel I don't have anything else to offer. My plan is a Dakota EXT 2WD 5spd pull the engine add a Yanmar/Kubota 3cyl diesel with a Comet CVT between engine and tranny no need for a clutch. This way the CVT keeps the engine at max power(torque) and max governor speed while accelerating the car to speed. The power to weight is less than a fully loaded tractor/trailer so this will be a street worthy setup the only thing is to add a vacuum pump for the brake booster. The engines that I've looked into use 3/4 gal. per hr @ full load so I should achieve around 100mpg with any amount of highway miles. I plan to use a split fuel system diesel/SWVO. The inspiration comes from this but I want something that will be of use and that has a heater 10 HP GEO Metro I talked to the Engineer that made this and the only thing he said was the heaver the car the slower the acceleration would be the 2 trannies make up for the lack of power. If I was working then I'd have the project in process, as for now I dream about it weekly.

NAVISTAR ! and built so strong a City worker can't break 'em NAVISTAR ! and built so strong a City worker can't break 'em

I can't see any way that the S-Series could be considered a flop. Consider the following sales volume numbers: Chevy Cobalt: 2004 4,959 2005 212,667 2006 211,450 2007 200,621 2008 188,045 2009 104,724 2010 97,376 Saturn S-Series: 1991 48,629 1992 169,959 1993 244,621 1994 267,518 1995 302,988 1996 294,198 1997 314,992 1998 219,765 1999 275,633 2000 169,866 2001 117,842 2002 ? Not only did the S-Series handily outsell the Cobalt, it did so without being whored out to rental companies, and without customers haggling the price down, and incentives were generally pretty limited. So they sold some S series, that still didn't put food on the table "Analysts estimate that Saturn has lost as much as $20 billion over the last 24 years." NY Times 2009 Business Day

Yeah those rotary valves looked promising if they can get the seals to hold up

Great deal I wouldn't do it for that but I don't have a shop either

That's OK that's what makes us unique

I must agree

Aside from the fact that I've seen transverse northstars mounted longitudinally in engine bays large enough to allow it (a '55 Cadillac), why use the Aurora V8 if you're going to do an engine swap? Find a wrecked STS, of any year. The external dimensions are the same, but you get 50 HP more. Myself, I would swap in an LT-1 at the first hint of a coolant leak. So true and would be a great match smooth power and bullit proof

Here's one if ya want to roll yer own ebay

Been there & done that for my own selfish reasons Come on Orical!

cheaper to build. This sums up Cadillac, not "standard of the world" Like MB never makes a decision on a cost basis if not they'd never make a profit.
