so this forum was down when I started all of the install but wanted to take some time to catch everyone up on this site since a fair amount of folks asked me to post progress... keep in mind the trans is installed inverted with a custom Chevy bellhousing but the S4 comes standard upright with the Porsche bellhousing.
it would be nice if this forum allowed more than one pic per post as it takes a long time to upload progress pix one at a time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Started off with installing the Kennedy Stage 2 dual 8" disk clutch - good for 550 ft-lbs of torque (at sea level racing I make 438 ft-lbs so should be plenty). The flywheel is 10" diameter overall and the custom pilot bearing installed in the Chevy crank  |

my friend Ken swung by tonight with his TIG welder and welded the bracket in place, welded the shifter to the plate I made to mount it, and welded up some new brackets I made for the oil coolers. I will snap shots tomorrow as I put all of that back together. Just waiting on shift cables at this point - I ordered last Monday but due to holiday shutdowns and such I don't think they will even ship until this Monday.
I might get it back together enough to run tomorrow and blast around the block in 1st gear tho' if it doesn't snow too bad tonight (it is wanting to snow all evening and we have a slight blanket right now). Snow, ice and slicks don't mix too well, especially coupled to a 50mph 1st gear and 400 ft-lbs of torque hahahaha. |
