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?
