hows this coming along?

Lovin this thread, awesome vehicle.

I have decided to go with a 4l80e, it's a beefier version of the 4l60e used in the corvette c5, which is actually an electronic th700 with the bellhousing chopped off. best part is any adaptor to fit a 1uz to gm turbo bolt pattern will work. I do have to perform some extensive mods to make...

actually the early short 930 trans costs about 5k here from a wrecker, and I'm not looking to make 1000 horsepower, that much power in a vehicle that weighs 1700 pounds is pretty much asking for a closed coffin, the 650 to 700 I want is bad enough, and a new gt40 transaxle is overkill for my...

I't a fiberfab gt15x, basicly a poor mans gt40

yeah I'm not too worried now, have had a good look around and found a good substitute I think, am looking at a porsche 930 transmission, will handle close to 700hp stock and with a few little goodies can be bumped up a bit. given that the cars weight is only 1700 pounds I think 700hp will be...

have found a few transaxles around from the porsche 915, minimal machining work to flip the crown gears and can handle close to 500bhp, their within my price range so I think that's my best bet, theres also an adaptor kit to suit the lex to vw & porsche transmissions so I think I've found my...

yup has helped me a little, I have a few places to look now. I have also found a website of a manufacturer who makes plates to suit Lexus v8 to vw & Porsche transaxels

does anyone know of any mid mount style transaxels that fit the uzfe engines? I'm mid mounting my fiberfab avenger and just thought I'd look first before lashing out to have something adapted
