After a lot of advice from this board and others I've decided that the endplay on the output flanges can be ignored for now. So..... Let's get this baby back on the road!!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
Here is the B.F.N. tranny mated to the motor. Yep, that's it. Hook two big fat wires to this thing and it goes! No F'n' ignition, valves, carbs, oil, cams, exhaust, etc..... Attached image(s) |

In reverse order:
Joe: I might be able to use it if I knew what it was! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Mueller: Probably could actually. Since the front mounts are so far away I think I'd have to lower it quite a bit though. It seems like the tranny is leaning that way already. I was worried about the gear oil situation if it was all sloshed to the front. Bob: All great ideas. Basically however I think of range for this car differently. For me, the range is ecentially infinite. I only use it around town and to commute. As you pointed out this is way less than 100 miles per day. I don't make many long distance trips period and even fewer in the 914. How many on here drive their 914 over 100 miles/day? (ok, how many of us would LIKE too... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) I have different cars for different purposes. I have a Jeep to get me off road. I borrow a truck when I need to haul big stuff. And I have an electric to get me around otherwise! (the wife's car is for the long trips and carrying the kid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) And no they aren't AGM batteries. They are good ole floodeds. AGMs don't have very much capacity. Somewhere about 1/4th or less. |
