On a more positive note, I've put 8000+ miles on the American, with that 
old 195.6 ohv and T-96, this calendar year, most of it highway 
commuting. But in town I'm really tossing it around now, the handling is 
weird but pretty good in it's own way. I think the biggest handling 
limitation is, you can wind the tall, soft springs up in a corner; 
too-hard braking or whatever would break the tires loose and the rear 
would swing out. I'm pretty sure the solution is a REAR sway bar, nto front.

This little car gets around. I don't abuse it, but I push it a bit in 
street traffic and it does just fine. I somehow hate to admit it, but 
the ratios in the T-96 are a PERFECT match for this engine. The 3.77 
axle is a great compromise, with OD for the freeway.

It's my plan to run the SoCal TT in it next September, a 600 mile road 
rally. Hoepfully the new motor will be in by then! (At the rate things 
are going...)
