So you're going to longitudinally mount the engine I presume and go ala "Big GT40" You know the one; http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-tech-po ... 00-hp.html Why don't you just use transverse and the Honda auto? |

Sorrys guys, I've put this in the wrong section, it should be in with the middies. Cheapie, no it will still be transverse with a glide beside it and belt drive to the rear end. Honda auto won't take the power I'm planning |

Honda auto won't take the power I'm planning Then adapt it to a GM 4T65E-HD auto and save all the hassle - also have equal length and strong driveshafts, big brakes etc, save a lot of money using junkyard bits. Has advantages like final drive ratio easy to change (sprockets and chain), known tricks and upgrades etc. |

Yes  Very early in development as I needed the chassis to work out fitment. |

I'm interested to ask where the drive goes from the trans output to rotate the axles (axle?)..... |

The drive will be returning to the centre of the car via a shaft where the 1/4 extension is, then belt drive down to a toothed pulley mounted on a Cressida differential. It's going to take a ton of time, effort and money :/ Got quoted $300-350 to get the frame sandblasted and powdercoated today which seems pretty good

I presume you are aiming for Oz fastest street car or World's fastest Kit-Car? Chasing 0-60 or 1/4? Your layout is pretty simple, why the big cost? |

Hmmmm...... One piece flange on the pump drive and a foot operated bypass valve on the line pressure circuit? Old school but effective

Not really after titles just something quick. The twin of my motor makes a little over 1000hp... The big cost will be the bellhousing/diff carrier which will be CNC machined out of one (huge) piece of alloy. |

Well that's a choice, you could make a spaceframe - there are actual bellhousings around made from spaceframes and certainly plenty of BEC diff carriers. This is often a prefered method in the aircraft and aerospace industry. Make a spaceframe first and cure any issues then look at that CNC billet route if you feel the need, if nothing else it would make a good test run to make sure everything is correct. |

Why not buy a proper dogbox instead of starting from zero? |
