The motor is not the problem to drive the prop. The transaxle is. You need a pto shaft, which means some sort of transfer case or a 4WD selectable transaxle. No would have to adapt a different transmission to the T4. Maybe one out of an Eagle or a Brat. Not sure of the drive train on those.

Not sure of the drive train on those. Zach Many of those old subys had a selectable transfer case. Even some of the more common ones like the legacy. You could probably reverse engineer an adapter plate, flywheel and clutch that we use in the suby conversions of just go suby power. I mean if you're going to do something crazy you might as well do something crazy right? I hope someone actually does this. I don't think I have enough years on my life to complete all the strange projects I've thought up. |
