[V8Vairs] T5/Saginaw,,etc...

[tom zimmermann]

..yes,Seth,I've emailed Chris over the past few years,he's been VERY helpful with my 'dumb' ??'s and twisted ideas...I'm going to talk more with Rochester Gear about replicating the big-car mainshaft end to press-fit into the Corvair mainshaft...I'm also trying to fit the s10 4x4 front diff carrier in the Corvair,even if I need to put a 'bulge' to accommodate the ring gear,then see what reverse-cut gears will cost...ultimately,I want a transaxle with the diff in the middle,and the secret may lie with the FWD car 5-sp design;picture,if you will,a Corvair engine coupled to a 7" Q/C rear (upside-down),and an aluminum-case 5-sp up "front",same layout as the Corvair..turn it around for a mid-engine,using maybe  NP-3550 truck trans internals..Dexron-lubed units seem to shift nicer...Tom "Y-NOT" Z...//
