[FC] '61 rampy

[Michael Emanuele]

I also have a 140 with a PG in my rampside, and have not had any trouble
with it dropping seats. This is my everyday driver. The only downfall is
that I don't think it was worth the trouble to do the swap as the
performance increase compared to the 110 that I had in it was that radical
to have made the change worth while.
Just my opinion, Mike Emanuele
