Beak cars, I like that. I was not the biggest fan of the beak originally but it has grown on me. I am usually a fan of the underdog... par t of the reason to stick with the 318.
Looks like a great starting point. But if you wanna third pedal then just plan for one. Why put money in a trans you don't want. Good luck and keep us posted.
Well the main thought behind just using the 727 for now is the money. Doing a 4 speed swap looks like it will be $2000-3000 and after the engine and suspension it doesn't seem like I will have enough at this point. So, maybe keep the 727 for now and drive it while I save up for the manual swap.
