Hi Mr. Parker! Ya know, another prominent Racer was talking to me just a couple of weeks ago about doing a Cosworth Vega! Coincidence?
It's a T-U-V car, stick only. Probably the hardest part about doing the car (other than the parts it would take and the car itself) would be getting enough gear in a 12 bolt without having to resort to short tires which might cause traction problems. Maybe a Dana 44?
Maybe an under-drive trans?
If it were done correctly, it would probably fly!
