That's exactly what I did and posted as a link in post number 8 above a couple days ago... would love for people look at the setup and comment with any pointers for improvements or cautions they might see.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
