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?

Small dual radiators will be a PITA for a v8. If you were going turbo 4 or similar then it could work. But you need some STUPID efficient radiators to make some small ones work for a v8.

Undoubtedly difficult and not without hassles.And the area involved would have to
sufficient for the application,whether V8 or otherwise(can anyone say BMW V12?)
For the express purpose of retaining the trunkspace as designed.
Aircooled to water circulator must make some compromises but
why that one?Around the problem not through or over.
I'm figuring a way to add the pair of rads outboard in front of the rear
wheelwells in a compact way,and thereby reduce the additional mass up front.
Some ducting in and out with the requisite efans and voila! an effficient
cooling system for a highpowered install,moving the air.
Down low,jnside the wheelbase,whether in front of the rears or behind the
fronts has to be more effective at reducing the cars polar moment.

I've had a look at the vids posted and have been reduced to drooling.
Mmmm..V8,Camaro,Corvette.And from what I can see,It's a 914 TX that all
that torque is going through.
Trans cooling?
Intermediate plate?
Sideplate?
Output flanges?
Close ratio?
Final gearset ratio?
You see,when I take to the track in the future,I would be pissed if the TX failed on the first try.
.A large slick of 90wt along with various chunks strewn across a hairpin exit
would harsh my day.It happened when Ford went to LeMan in the 60's
unprepared and brokedown.

Here is a V8 running a 951 TX,and there is no doubt that steps were taken
to ensure the survival of it.Not cheap but certain.

Certainly Better Suited for V8 Torque.
