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 |

Allo.
After some searching about,I rediscovered the thread about an LS/Audi conversion. (LS1 Conversion, A Retrospective Build Thread) By andys Doh!Correction. Different thd,different car.no find,more searching later. by the way, andys,immaculate work. And Lo and Behold,the Audi O1E also has the iron gearcase,much like the 944/951/968. Other than destructive testing,how could I determine the load capacity of the respective boxes? Of all the candidates,the Audi O1E appears the most readily available. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LMr3OBe2fc..._detailpage#t=5 Using a 944/951 TX behind a LS V8. The Original GT40 used a Hewland or Colotti T37 TX then later 7L's a custom KarKraft T44 as a small production. The problem looking for a solution is the same as then, in 64-65. http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-tech-engin...aft-t-44-a.html The entire purpose is of course,not exploding your TX on the application of full throttle or any random time. http://www.rbttrans.com/about.html For those who require V8 Torque capabilities. |
