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 |

Incredible this site hasn't returned a single ping in searches for "transaxle",for years. Found by fluke thru GT40s.com,a ref from '07,today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) wtf.  This is a Doug Nash 5 spd gbx mated to his own casting/diff housing from decades ago. Need a TX for a 917-30 replica,or a product of your own,using off the shelf P-parts? He might have what you need for the high powered 914 with a difference. http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-tech-power...rans-axles.html Plain to see,these TXs are not cheep,no surprise there.Capable tho. Doug Nash,sadly gone. http://www.hotrod.com/news/1507-doug-nash-...racer-has-died/ https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome...mission+history |
