It just bolts up!? FFS! 6sp and slipper will be *very* nice

[volvodspec]

that does look spot on ; allmost like it is ment to be, very nice Adam

you won't have to worry about breaking trannys/propshafts anymore i think

funny how the cv's look very much the same thickness, the plates where they bolt to the 300 diff tend to give up from time to time; i wonder how that is done in the vette's tranny

Oh MAN that's epic. I can't believe how close it all is. I'll be watching this with great interest...

Do I spy a multi-plate clutch up front?

cheers

Yes that's a 1 owner from new NASCAR clutch! Chevy spline pattern ftw. Will be coupled to a TTV flywheel. Has like 720nm clamping force or something mad all for £60!

Verrryyy nice, looks like it's meant to be, just like a strong 300 drivetrain version

[Speedy88]

Very nice! Can't wait to see this

[V6 Man]

I think this deserves an 'Oooof!'

[volvosneverdie]

Mega-Oooooof.
An oooof that would be appropriate Like if Zoids and Transformers had sex together and gave birth to a car.
With a Vette train.

Sexy frankenstein engineering.

Mark (Bertiebandit / BBQ) mentioned ex-nascar clutches being the most amazing thing known to man. £60 for something like that is mental!

I was telling my mate about this the other day (the one who worked for Muzz for a while), and he mentioned that the T56 is hardly a 'sports' gearbox...everything is a bit on the heavy side...which figures, given the torque handling capability.

M47R was hardly owt to right home about,either.

What ratio CWP is that set up running????

Doesn't exactly look a bolt up job to me,but,if anyone can do it I'm sure it's you.
Good luck with it.

Did you get pinged for import tax???

[340GLT]

It's not as heavy as it looks to be honest. Box is a bit heavierthan a 47, if I can I will weigh it all.

Sven it's running a 3.42 but they are readily available, I will probably be switching it for a 4.1.
Adam

[foggyjames]

Good point about the M47...very true.

cheers
