What is involved in running a 915 behind a V8. I know you either have to flip the ring and pinion or run the tranny up side down. Is that possible? What are the good options for shifting one?
What are decent used ones going for? How much will I have to throw at one to freshen it up? What gear ratios are available stock? What years should I look for? I need something that can handle a LS1 on steroids. |

One of my problems with the Turbo tranny is it is a Four speed. I want to be able to get in and drive to california and have a solid over drive. I was talking to a friend of mine that is putting Ls1-Ls6 engines in 2nd and third gen RX7s and he gets to use the nice T56 6speed tranny. He says he can pull 28-30mpg on the high way. That is the reason I want to use the 915.
I have a friend that is building a 352 from a 400 block and 302 crank figuring about 600hp, but very little torque. something like that should work well with the 915. What is the story on the G50? Brad what does the WEVO kit go for? |
