After restoring and driving a 76 C-Car I'm going to agree. The chassis was never designed to go faster than 45mph. 30mph is fairly scary on the flats. I did a wilwood brake upgrade on the front...

You should have more feedback with the shortened shifter. Sounds like the bushings that surround the shifter are shot or possibly the universal joint is very loose. There is a really cool universal...

Change the transmission fluid frequently (15k miles) and air up the tires to max sidewall. Also make sure the timing belt has been changed recently or at least within it's service interval.
