That chassis looks well designed. Well done. When you get done I would recommend you plot the camber, toe, and bumpstop change so you know what you have. I would also recommend a baseline setup as follows. F caster = 6 degrees (5-7) but equal on both sides F camber = .25-.33 degrees neg. F toe...

Wow! I could write several pages about this. But I won't......however, I will try to respond succinctly. You want to use your car for "track usage". Here's what I have learned. Heres is the example, SLC approx weight = 2650ish. Engine power = 530hp with torque output no less than 400ft/lbs and...

What car, and used how? I think you will need to invest in a lengthy post concerning your vision to get any meaningful response.

Real deal not bullshit,

Musk is now Bond.

Here: Do you have questions about it? Ask away. Oh, raise the expansion tank as high as it physically fits under the bodywork.

Does anybody have a GTD40 with a Ford small block 302 and a G50 Porsche installed in it? I'm thinking of doing this with mine and would like some intel on possible issues. I kinda know what parts I need but I would like information on chassis fitment and clearance issues. Of course the more...

Glenn, Thanks for the info.

Rodger at California Motorsports told me that the damage we were seeing was the usual damage that resulted from applying very high torque numbers through the 7.5-inch R&P used in a G50. "This is why Porsche went to the 9-inch R&P's" He has "seen this before with high power V8's". Here is the...

I placed a deposit with California Motorsports for a 6-speed 996 Turbo GRBX. We will change the gear ratios to better suit my wishes and install a WaveTec TBD as well as some strengthing pieces and an internal spray oiling system. We also finished the repair and rebuild on my G50. I may put it...

This book in softbound is certainly worth the 25 bucks or so if only to give you a good over view of what is involved and some good examples of individual circuits, componite selection, and the overall homebuilt vehicle wiring process. I think it would be pretty useful to a hotrodder that lacks...

Glenn. Does the red AN fitting/braided SS line go down to the top of the oil pan? Or is this engine dry-dumped?

So does the big box drain oil back into the valve cover? Drain holes, where are they/it located, size, how many? Baffles inside? Where? Pictures of the interior?

Here is what I would use. Design the system so that the U joints are not near the exhaust...

Does anybody know what exactly is going on inside of these?

Jean, The pinion bearing was spun, and the bearing bore had to be repaired. Cause or effect? I don't know what happened first. Thank you for the comment; every little bit of information is useful, but I do agree that the damage isn't symmetrical. Maybe the bearing spun and misaligned the gears...

Ya, I'm nearly certain that the pinion gear is a forging as well as all the other gears. I think the divots in the teeth were caused by contact point fatigue failure resulting in cracking and causing large sections of the gear to shear off. There was some similar damage to the ring gear as well...

Here is the source of the little whining noise at the rear of the car. Yeah, that was not cheap. I'll add more detail to what I decide to do about this, but I am pretty sure I have found the limit of what a G50 can take. I'm pretty sure I need a 9-inch ring and pinion instead of the 7.5 inch...
