I just bought a V-8 conversion out of San Diego. Was looking for some input on it. I know the Tranny is a weak point in these conversions. Has anyone had any issues with these blowing up at high revs? Also any idea of what my future looks like with this car? Maintenance, headaches, anything un expected. I am a first time poster and am looking for any info i can get. I posted the link below.

Looks like a nicely sorted car!
You might want to look into getting some "H" gears for 5th, as it will reduce the cruising revs. Do you know output of engine? As others have said, 901 will live at 300 bhp/300 torque if not abused. Also, I don't know what clutch is fitted, but my kit came with a Kevlar disc that's good for 500 bhp…way overkill for my 300-bhp engine…so I replaced it with a more conventional disc from Kennedy Engineered Products, and the clutch take-up is much smoother now. Good luck! |
