Olivers Ride RF with ZF

[Bill Bayard]

Ken,

I'm not sure that you had to go all the way to Australia for your manifold. It looks virtually identical to a crossram manifold, built in house, by TWM in California.

Very nice, no matter where it's from!!!!!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Just curious...will you need to trim the fiberglass around the induction hole, or will the manifold squeeze through there?

To flip or not to flip??????

Not flip.. Pantera shift patern...simpler install with out the exspensive modifications to the gearbox.

Larger Master clutch to handle the larger throwout bearing.

The bell housing is from Kenedy engineering. It is a very nice piece for $350.00. ERA is around $1000.00 more or less. It is alot lower than the flipped version. This also allowed the engine to be lower in the chasis. The oil pan had to shave a litle more so it would not hang over the chasis. It is a very nice fit.

How can it be lower? The input shaft still has to align with the crankshaft. Correct?

That's what I thought too. Assuming same clutch size it would just give more or less clearance (internally) around the pressure plate.
