Hi all,
First time posting here, so apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere on the forum. We are just beginning a new RCR GT40 Mk I build and can't seem to get clear information on the transaxle selection.
We have ordered a ZF transaxle with 4.22 final drive ratio but I am now beginning to think this may not be optimal for our intended use. The car will likely never see a track but rather be driven around town (speed limit is about 30 on most roads around here!!) and on the highway. Obviously we want it to be quick off the line but, equally we don't want to find ourselves at 75MPH on the freeway with annoyingly high rpm in 5th gear and wishing we had an overdrive!
The engine will be a 363 (302 Dart Block) with 4 double-barrel Webers, producing 500HP/450 ft-lbs torque from Craft Performance Engines.
Welcoming any and all suggestions on the best transaxle setup for this motor for our intended purposes.
Thanks!
