Ford 9" Transaxle, the lack of Options

[veekry9]

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.)

(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?

Yeah.
It really is the pursuit of a less expensive
way to get the power to the ground.
Laying the 9" and 930 R+P next to eachother
on the bench they look similar.
The availability of Ford parts at the recyclers
makes them the cheaper/pound.
That said,the problem begins as you attempt to apply
the 9" to a mid setup.
You have seen here the many inventive ways to do so.
The Italian way has been very effective.Simple really.
Get some sand,make a mould and pour the aluminum...
then machine it.
You can then call it a F,L,M,A-R,fiat etc.
It is no small undertaking of design and manufacture.
You would begin by mocking-up the actual parts in plywood
bulkheads to develop the layout.
A one-off prototype could be made economically to test
the viability of your design.
So as you approach the end of the exercise you may discover
it is an expensive one-off.However if your pal Al wanted one..
