I want her rumbling on the test stand before I put her in the car
Welcome to GT40S Coleman. Many people will recommend picking your transaxle first and then configure your engine accordingly. Ask plenty of questions, there are some extremely smart and talented people on this forum that will try and answer any questions you throw at them. Read all the build threads you can find.
Enjoy the forum !!

It's a good idea to run a custom-built engine on a stand or dyno before you drop it in the car. That said, it will likely take you longer to get the kit than to build the engine.
We have over 50 cars on order...
Thank you Tom--yes it does I'll begin looking into those transaxles tooHi Coleman Bee Tom Fuschetti here, Are you getting left hand or right hand drive? I recommend a Porsche 997 for left hand drive, or 996 for right
hand drive with a Kennedy engineering adapter plate . These transaxles can handle any horse power you throw at them. To set them up you have
to flip them over pull out the vent with a pair of pliers and use a 1/4 " pipe tap , this will be where you add your gear lube . They work with
Corvette C5 axles and suspension. I hope this helps.

I can’t say I have heard much about anything with a Porsche label on it called “cheap”… As far as I am aware, there’s not much interchangeable between Porsche’s gearboxes beyond that of possibly 5th or 6th gears.. I would ask the specialists like CMS or Graziano..Okay quick question--
I have the feeling that I will want to play around with gearing once I get the car dialed in. Between the brandnew Graziano and a used Porsche 997, which would be easier and/or cheaper to take apart and modify the gear ratios?
Graziano out performs the Porsche trans in all applications where power and torque capability is necessary ..also in price too
To be honest there is very little need to mess with gear ratios , once the drop gears are installed in the Graz transaxle.
