    Modifying a Porsche G50 Transaxle

    Erik, So my Patrick Motorsports built G50/52 should stand up against my 351 which generates 506 hp at 6700 rpm and 481 lb-ft at 4200 rpm? It has spray bars and an external pump. How to do you set up the drain plug and determine the fill when they are inverted? Thanks!

    Inverted G50/52 Vent

    Guys, How did/would you fabricate a vent to go in the drain plug of an inverted G50/52? I'd love some ideas that incorporate an inlet for cooled pumped transaxle oil. Thanks!

    Anyone recognize this chassis...?

    Has some in common with the Sabre, but does not appear to be one ... based on the three chassis I've seen including mine.

    Information Query ... clip mnt thread diameter

    Guys, It is my understanding that the RF GT40 uses a "T" shaped adustable mount on each side for the rear clip. It has threaded rod section horizontally and vertically to provide the adjustment of clip location. Can someone please tell me the approximate diameter of these threaded rods...

    Rear Clip Mounting

    Guys, I have Sabre 6210. The only significant nasty on the Sabre is the rather poor way the rear clip is attached. Is a rinky-dink arrangement that has no adjustability at all. You either get the holes drilled for the pivots in the clip in exactly the right place or ... I am thinking...

    Front Dress - What a mess!

    Had to make mine Ron, I'm using the short pump. Because the engine is built on a race block it has an external oil pump and uses serpentine (flat) belts. Guess where that left me ... absolutely nothing could be bought. So I made the entire front end setup. Bought 7075 plate and bar on...

    OK Everyone, What Did You Get For Christmas?

    I got sort of an odd present ... the several year loan of a gaming system. My youngest son will be in Europe and is not taking it with him. It is a PS2 with a pair of GameRacer seats, logitec wheels and pedal sets. The visual is provided by an InFocus projector. Sound by high-end Sony 5.1...

    P4 in Red

    Jim, I really appreciated the pic of the car in Danbury. I spent many a day there working for Union Carbide before Dow bought and dismembered the place. Drove that stretch of road many, many times. Brought back lots of memories and gave me a few daydreams too. As I've said before, it is...

    Centerline of G50/52???

    The construction of the half shafts is not the issue. They have lots of slip joint movement possible. The issue really is how does one locate the center line of the transaxle ... and are the drive flanges symmetrical about the centerline. (At first measurement, it appears that the engine...

    Centerline of G50/52???

    1) Have talked to him already. Lynn has a G50 mounted. Donnelly provided the transaxle rear mount on his car. 2) Still needed data, so I posted here. Thanks,

    Centerline of G50/52???

    Guys, Are the drive hubs on the G50/52 symmetrical about the centerline of the transaxle? That is, should the distance from the drive flange to the chassis well be the same on each side? Another way to ask the question might be: Should the length of the half shafts be the same on each side...

    Smokin deal.....Sabre

    Sure looks like Luis Lopez' car. I wonder what front and rear uprights he finally used. I thought he was going to try something different there than is usual for a Sabre.
