The 1.6 I had I bored .030 over, 10:1, Ported head, Cortina GT Intake with 
32/36DGV Webber carb, Thorley header, Isky triple springs, Isky custom cam, 
2.5" exhaust, 3.73 gears, 4 speed.
Would light the tires from 2500 RPM to over 7000RPM in 1,2,or 3, would bark 
4 really well!
Whine from trans that went away in 4th gear my dad said was input shaft 
bearings and told me to be easy on it until we found a better 
trans...  Told my friend that my dad was full of beans and dumped the 
clutch at 7000RPM at an intersection and started grabbing gears without the 
clutch...  solid rubber and smoke across the intersection in 1st then a 
good 150 feet into 2nd, hit 3rd and the engine just went ZING and the car 
was slowing down... Tried all the gears including reverse... Best I could 
do was a sick grinding sound.  Shaved the teeth clean off the input shaft 
gear and only left 3 on the countershaft!!!   oops.
