Hi all,
I need to get my flywheel & bellhousing sorted out asap, and have run into a bit of a problem.
I'm using a side oiler mated to a flipped -2 ZF.
The first question is, what depth of bellhousing do I need ?
It seems they can be either 4", 4.25" (I think this is simply a thick sandwich plate), or 5".
What I am keen to ensure is that the driveshafts are correctly aligned fore/aft.
I guess another approach would be to compare the distance from bellhousing flange to driveshaft centreline of a T44 and a ZF, but I can't find the dimensions for the T44.
Can anyone help please ?
I need this to enable the engine to be dyno'd.
I thought all I needed was the kennedy bellhousing which is 4", but now I'm not so sure, so thought I'd ask you clever lot :thumbsup:
Second question, any recommendations as to flywheel weight and clutch to use. I know a lot of the original mk1s use twin plate AP jobs, but I'm not sure they will fit (too long). What do the Pantera guys runnning 427s use ?
Also while i'm asking, what weight of flywheel : 15lb / 20lb / 25lb / 30lb / 35lb / 40lb ?
The car will be road reg'd, but used 50/50 for track too.
Many thanks,
John.
