Might as well tell everyone at the same time! Caring for my mother prior to her recent passing has put me about 6 months behind on everything. We are redesigning the PS/PB unit so that it can be used with V8 installations as well as 230 flatheads. The boosted MC will be located under the floor (same as the '68 WM300). I will not have prices until I do a production run. Dave Cirillo and I are just finishing up designing a 318/360 V8 conversion kit for the WDX PWs. It uses the 318 hydraulic bell housing and 435 4 speed and bolts to the original mount locations so there is no need to drill holes etc. The original pedels are also used. This should be finished next week and we can design the PS, PB around the V8 so that it doesnt interfere with the exaust manifold. Nov. 31 I will be returning to Thailand (I have more relatives there than here) and set up our manufacturing there. One of the things I am taking with me is a patterns for various bellhousings and have a foundry over there cast them up. And yes, I'll take a windshield regulator along too!
