I am just starting to acquire the parts to build this. I will make every effort to make the assembly as short as possible.I may mill the trans mounting surface off and gain a few inches there . While I appreciate your measurements i woulld prefer them from the bellhousing flange back as this is a non changing surface unlike the waterpump.This may not work for an exact resto but for a kit you should be able to take a few liberties I am sure.Another option to use a slightly longer transaxle like this would involve a small reengineer of the water pump area itself. ORRRR a guy could change his parameters slightly and install a supercharged V6 or a turboed engine.Ultimately the idea is to build this transaxle and whatever engine assembly that we decide on and build a car around it. If when we are done the GT40 body fits that would make us extremely happy. Now then when they ran the FE style motors they were obviosly longer than the windsor series . There has to be a little wiggle room available.
Dont be afraid to keep me on my toes as no man thought of everything even though as a man I could never admit it.
