    Scratch Built in need of Transaxle ideas

    So many years ago the popular thing to do was a Ford SHO swap into the Esprit. Guy had stopped in the north Houston area 17 years ago and showed off to a lot of us and took for a ride. Wow was that impressive and sounded great and a shove in the back when he put the power down. 250hp in an...

    Scratch Built in need of Transaxle ideas

    Quick search on ebay and Maxima motor and a Cayman transaxle can be had for a total of $3500, I wonder what engine management is needed to get the two things working? So the next question does Kennedy Engine make an adaptor for this set up already? Now saying that... I wonder if KEP already...

    Vapor lock challenge

    Nice build. I see you are running AC. Jag XJ's used to have fuel cooler mounted to the return line from the evaporator to chill the fuel for return to the tanks. Now I do not know if anyone makes something like this or you could find one on ebay or XJ6 scrappers.
