Hello World.
I posted 1st as a reply to Marcus C6. How difficult would it be to fabricate a transaxle that can carry the Ford 9" ring + pinion?I have viewed Currie's site and see no mention anywhere online of such a contraption. A ZF from a Pantera approaches the torque capacity, the original GT40's box was a Hewland race piece. (Edit#2:on research,a Colotti tx was used on the 289 mk1's,still in business.) http://www.colotti.com/ ![]() (Edit:Later a KarKraft tx was used,perhaps some production parts) Are there any foundrymen on the 914W site? And of course the latemodel Porsche TX's are works of art. Could there possibly be a demand for such a high load TX? vic |

if you intend on drag racing a 914...... well good luck!
irs isn't the most conducive to drag racing, to many moving parts at high torque loads [stubs to diff flanges]. to beef these up to stand the forces would be counterproductive to accelerating the rotating masses [the tires, wheels, halfshafts and the diff it's self. if you dead set try to fab what they use on t/f cars. clutch to torque shaft to diff. you would have to rely on clutch slip to aid the acceleration and launch. sounds stupid? yep! medi's cost $$$$ because they can stand the power and have been proven. but they can break just like anything else that gets abused with high instant torque loads. you want big power and no parts broken..... bring lots of $$$$$ |
