Always thought that the way the engine/trans was mounted @ front of block & tail housing with nothing around the bell housing area was crazy, after the failure I think they added some support straps in the firewall area. Sure got Inkys attention when all the shrapnel started attacking the trans tunnel area. Coasted to a halt with his knees hugging his chin.
Brilliant recollections as always there Jac. I always enjoy your stories from this era.
