Hi, my name is Randall and new to the forum. I have my mind set on buying a Tornado GT40 later this year and in light of this project I am doing some transmission research.
I've been able to buy a G50-03 from a 1990 carrera2 with only 30k kilometers for a true bargain, added bonus after researching the serial number; it has a ZF lsd!!
Now the Tornado chassis is based on the UN1 transmission, which I can also get for a low price.
My dilemma is this: do I modify the chassis for the G50 ( No problem, I own a motorsports company and I can weld anything) or do I stick to the UN1 version.
I am used to building cars from scratch ( race/rally fwd cars and some dakar rallyraid cars)and my gut would say to modify the chassis and use the G50.
I would like to know if anyone has experience with the g50 in a Tornado and if the G50 will give fitment issues. I intend on using a 351 Windsor with a Kennedy engineering adapter-inverter plate.
Hope someone can help me with this.
Thanks and best regards
Randall
