Today i did the 996 axle to C5 axle. I cut off the 996 four inches from the end and found out it was hollow. That made it easy. Then I drove out the C5 hub with a brass hammer (notice clip that holds it together) Then on my CNC lathe I turned a smaller shaft on the C5 end .575 X 1.00 Later I...

Hi there, I used the stock 351W ring gear and cut it down to fit the 996 clutch assembly my plate is 1.250 thick. No cutting of the 996 tranny or cutting of the 351 block. I think people use the 996 ring gear or a second gear. Do you have master cam i could e-mail it if you like

Here is the final adapter plate for the 351W block to the 996 transmission, making a wood model is the only way to go as it is easy to correct mistakes. Anyway it fits perfect with a tolerance of + - .005 Now on to the drive axles cutting the C5 and Matching the 996 axles to fit.

The cardboard pattern worked out good, The Harbor freight brake barley made the bends .062 aluminum. Maybe a pre heat will help here. I am going to have a cover to work on motor if needed. Tomorrow on to the other side. And then a drive down to Industrial to get the 1.5 thick plate to finish...

The door did not close, here is the modified version. There will be some Heli arc to get this finished.

Great to hear from you Brian, back to work on the GT. Every thing cost more than I'd did when I started. Any way moving forward once trans is attached I need to cut machine axles and tack weld engines mounts. Using wood allows for lots of mistakes corrections. Again thanks for all you help on the GT

Building the adapter out of wood on Hass mill the drawing on internet was good and no Drawing on the 996 trans. So I used 2 locating pins on the Hass and used X Y zero to locate 996 pilot shaft with wood build up. Measured 1.400 from edge of bellhousing and bored for slip fit. To follow with...

Machined the 351 W flywheel to fit the 996 transmission, Next its the adapter plate, since aluminum is so expensive it will cut from 1.5 thick plywood and if it all fits then get aluminum.

Its great to be back !!

Bidenomics has made building the GT painful. However moving forward I am adapting the 996 trans to the 351 roller block, I have to machine the adapter plate. Then build the engine mounts and adapt the 996 CV Joints to the C5 output shafts. For now the 427 Stroker is out and the 351 is in
