corvette transaxle

anyone ever look at the c6 corvette transaxles? any way to convert? i had a z06 and it appears to have a vestigal bellhousing? they're plenty strong,and should be relatively easy to find.

 

allow me to correct myself! i meant c5 corvette, sorry

Scott,

The C5/C6 transaxles are very similar. And both are too
long for a GT40 (the CV joints are set too far back in
the unit).

Scott,

Here is a good picture of automatic setup out of a corvette. The 6 sp is configured the same. As you can see it is very long and the distance from the input shaft to the output shafts are way to long.

 

i agree, after looking at pictures of the transaxles, they are way too long.anybody ever heard of a gt40 long wheelbase !??

Hmmm ... a stretched GT40 with a hot tub!

Now that would be "pimpin' a ride." /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

The basic layout problem is that the R&P is at the back of the box not at the front by the belhousing.

 

We looked at it for our car. and we may use it in the future But the customers that I have now are Chevy phobic. the size advantage, in our cars will lets us run a lot of dif rent drive trains.A 4.6 whit a ZF has 17" of room in frunt of it, we needed enugh room for a 800CI V12. Just kiding, er probubly not though
