Re: German GT40 interpretation
Hmm...still thinking about engine options, the older Alfa V6 where transaxle principle, engine front, gearbox rear, the newer ones where built in east/west with frontdrive. I have researched and found out that the Alfa Boxers like Alfa 33, 145/146 where mounted longitudinal with frontwheeldrive. :idea:
Their engines were up to 140hp, not much, but the gearbox looks conceptional right.
If I go for the newer Alfa V6 2.5 or 3.0 with around 190 to 220hp attached to the Alfa boxer-transmission I have an all-italian solution.
I still do need an adapter plate, but there is some hope that at least two or three of the holes match, and I can use Alfa components for flexplate and clutch...
The pics show the Alfa 164 tranny compared with the Boxer tranny, a boxer gearbox and the 3.0 engine..
May be not interesting for you guys, but sometimes it is good to share ideas, you'll never know what might come up in the future...
