Cool Re: Kennedy Engineering

Thanks for your considerations chaps. As the ZF-- is the prefered traditional transaxle for the GT40 Mk1. The next best, simple option is the Porsche G50 (or 930) which is what we run with --to take all the horse power and torque that you guys keep talking about ,then we chose four V8 motor types that would most likely be road registerable in Aus. ie. Ford Windsor(traditional) Ford modular (4.6-5.4) Chev LS1-7 and the Lexus.
We often get enquiries for other motor / trans. configurations which we would be happy to do, but I need data, like bolt pattern coodinates for the engine bell housing,crank/flywheel --the transaxle bell bolt pattern,clutch etc etc.(eg.we set up to do Audi 016 then everyone wants 01E or AO--x or what ever --a bit confusing as they've all got different idiosyncracies) We are steadily building a library for all these possibilities-- its a hobby, and I'm not that sure that is a viable proposition, whilst trying to meet the middle market.
The high end builders know what they want and have the cash to do so.

All the best, Chipper !
