Hey Guys,
Thanks for all the input. Yes that Audi Transaxle might fit the bill with our current belt set-up.
. Sid, I must have been in a daze when you said it. Sorry Bud.
I am thinking we might just go diesel for a while so we might need a significant overdrive. I am thinking G and F engines. and the Mickeys we have are 82" circumference. I am thinking these small diesels can turn 5000 safely probably 6000? I have the gear/RPM spreadsheet but its not agreeing with me.....need to go back to school for Excel spreadsheets. Problem is if I use a straight 6 and my liberty 5 speed there is not room for the the gear vendors OD. I talked to them and its a minimum of 15" length they need. So short is good.
Just trying to see what people might have laying around is the main purpose of this post.
Has anyone tried to made an overdrive with spur gears like are used in stock cars? I have about 50 sets of those laying around......
