Never had a new pad. But I'm sure this will hold up just fine. It is somewhat flexible

The 545rfe needs a big place to live. See the thread above. I bought the engine and trans together. It took a lot bigger hole than I expected, But it will be worth it in the end, I plan on driving this thing alot.
