Re: Skip Barber Mazda Linkage is Official!

I remember the Ford to Dodge transition and agree with Oldman and Peter that it was a trying time. An oil cooler, restrictor plate, larger brakes, shocks and probably other changes later, we had the Formula Dodge. More changes produced the RT-2000.

If Mazda engines are to be substituted for Dodges in the RTs and Formula cars - rather than appearing only when the new car arrives - both conversions should undergo the kind of shake down and development undertaken with the new chassis as part of converting the present fleets.
