That Mazda should get around pretty good. Is that a stock tranny hump?

Tranny hump is stock and shifter comes through in the stock location. The iron mazda four/four speed combo is the same length as the LS/T5 combo except T5's tailshaft is much longer so a custom driveshaft 7 inches shorter is required. The same iron chunks are within 50 LBS of the new stuff so weight distribution is the same. New cam, L92 heads, and 1.7:1 rockers boost HP to just over 500 at the flywheel so it does get around pretty good. Remember that AC Ace that Carroll Shelby stuffed a Ford FE 427 into???? This has about the same HP and is 50 pounds lighter than his comp 427 cobra and that was a Ferrari killer.
