The place is called Michael's Motorsports. They perform the same work that GTO Racing/Engineering in the UK do. That means they can beef up the trans input shaft, install a Quaife ATB, and shove in a new gear kit that hangs the 6th forward gear right below 5th, where reverse would normally be. http://www.michaelsmotorsports.com/6speedconversion.htm I have no problems with sharing what I know. I don't feel the need to be the first to do something, just so I can try and somehow take credit, or feel needed when people ask me questions. I just want to go fast like everyone else. And in order for me to do that, I'd like someone to share some knowlege with me. I've got 2 RHB5 turbos on the way. Whether I use them on the PRV, another engine, or just sell them off to someone who wants to build their own Island kit, I don't know. But I do know that I'd like some information here. If the building a *replica* Legend engine is cost prohibitive, I'd just like to know why? And if there is a modest way of gaining power out of the engine, I'd like to know how. No, I don't expect to hit the high 11's on the quartermile. But I do want to pack a punch wherever I go. If someone can answer these questions, great. If not, that's fine, but let's not keep taunting everyone. 10+ years from now, most of these cars will likely be off the roads. So I'd like to enjoy the remaining time. I need sources for forged pistons, rods, head gaskets, fuel/turbo maps, etc., and info on what the weak spots of the PRV are. And once and for all, how did Fred rig up Bias Control? -Robert vin 6585 "X" --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Marc Levy <malevy_nj@xxxx> wrote: > > I have spent extended periods of time looking through > Fred's "black book".
