Im rebuilding a 289 for my GT. It will be a pretty mild engine when its done. What is a descent porsche transaxle for my application?

944 value Sorry I forgot to ask what a 944 transaxle with 100000 miles on it would be worth if anyone knows? Thanks Shawn

What kind of transaxle does a 944 have? Could this type of transaxle be used in a GT-40 application? Thanks Shawn

Sounds great! Thanks

I am scratch building a 40 and was wondering what it will take to get it licensed in Iowa. Any info on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Shawn

Phil, I noticed you scratchbuilt your MKI. What did you use for your rear components? Thanks Shawn

Thanks Rick, I will look into that.

Thanks Mike I will look into it. I like tools, so any reason to buy a new one makes me giddy.:pepper:

Is the 93-98 Lincoln Mark VII rear wheel spindle assembly acceptable for the basis for my rear suspension? Are there any other options I should look into? Ford Thunderbirds had a similar setup, but I think they were steel not aluminum like the Lincolns.

Thanks for advice. I think I will go with stainless, since I have a bunch of it already. When you say bead the ends, do you mean I should put a bead of weld all the way around for the radiator hose to grab onto?

Sorry.. I put this thread in the wrong area.
