Did J & D Engineering do engine work for YENKO? Is that the stamp ("JD Engineering&quot

that Grady found on his L88 in his beautiful red Camaro?

I'm curious what transmission they ran at the time. My fiance's cousin runs a Rush Mod with a direct drive (press the pedal to engage the clutch, then hammer it into gear when you're at speed... I need to try that some time) that I'm still fascinated by.

And the driver in that first pic looks like the spitting image of her dad who ran a dirt car until she came along in '77.
