What's dat shit? heart and soul

i woke up to an email today from Patrick whom  is in Varna (bulgaria?).

he sent over the parts list on the motor. good stuff! nice and old school.

when opted for the manual shifter linkage, hydro or manual, he still kept it manual. so there will be a full-on user feedback feel that is part of that heart and soul in the experience. very analog.
