Stan- what would you guess to be the weakest spot in the old Warren QC? In the picture in the ad the QC gearsets appeared to be normal 3.5" centers/1.25"-10 spline/1.375" thick, which easily handle more grunt than my engine will have. I assume ring & pinion gears for the Ford banjo rearends are now available in 9310 alloy? So what does that leave for concern?
And yes, my peak drive torque will be limited. Possibly by tire slip, but definitely by running no transmission- instead I'll be smokin' the discs in the 3-disc full-centrifugal CrowerGlide. I'll set the weights to avoid full lockup until at least 4,500 RPM.
