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?

The McKee may be of interest to this brave quest. It's based on the quick change parts that all go back to the early Ford "banjo" style. These lend themselves to theoretical transaxle use because the lack of hypoid offset.

The Ford 9" is a terrible ring and pinion and only gets all this attention because it was used by drag racers decades ago. It's advantage was a removable center section that could be swapped quickly for ratio changes at the track.
The 9" has a very high hypoid offset that is inefficient, it's a sloppy pig that lives on only because of threads like this mentioning it but nobody even cares about center section swapping any more.

I've actually completed a project close to this and created a 928 trans based on a Jerico and 928 diff housing. I used a GM 12 bolt which is a very good R&P design.

The only chance of a custom Porsche configuration transaxle being done without major casting/gear making is going to be the McKee style based on a QC. Even the companies that do make transmissions struggle with delivering. Making a bunch of gears and stuff is a lot of work.
A project like this probably wouldn't be completed even if you were a transmission company!
