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 |

Ferrari 512bb put the boxer 12 over the top of the trans with a geared transfer case on the rear. Very clean but big HP would snap the pinion. The 901 trans only weigh @75lbs so if you are looking at a 9" with a TH you will be adding a serious amount of weight to the r/e. Seems to me a used Camaro would have you down the track years ahead of what you're thinking. But if it's your dream then go for it !
