I think you will find it still has the automatic transmission rear axle so at 80 mph you will be turning 3700 rpm. My auto to stick swap 745 is just the same. Makes the car quite peppy and the engine does not seem to mind the rpm.

Kevin and I tried to unbolt the crank pulley and it was way to tight. We could not even get it off with an impact gun. Im not sure what we are going to do. I need to have him do the final stage 3 of the torque spec on the head bolts. While we are at it, going to replace water pump and timing belt. Kevin has a crank holder tool but needs to find it.
Since the headgasket replacement there has been no problems of overheating at all. The gearing of the rear end did felt different from my 240 with a D24.
