... the roughly 2700 lb W201 chassis with the 3.5ish rear gear will be a slow, but drivable and fun vehicle behind the 601NA... put that in a 3900ish pound wagon, with a 2.65 rear gear, and I sincerely doubt you will achieve city traffic speeds... unless your travels are all downhill, and you NEVER put anything in the cargo area... use 201 light wheels, and SKINNY tires, NEVER fill the tank above 1/2 (around 8 gallons) and remove all but the driver's seat...
