Question for Jay---
« on: July 20, 2019, 10:36:25 PM »
Hi Jay---

I haven't talked much about it much, anywhere, but I'm at work on the beginnings of a Land Speed car. It'll be based on an aftermarket version of the '06 Ford GT.

When you have a chance, could you measure the transaxle length from the back face of the block to the centerline of the half-shafts on your car? This measurement will make it possible to ascertain possible alternatives available to me. M2K is using a Ricardo, I believe, but I'll be trying to get close to twice the claimed 2500 HP they're putting out. It's been suggested that it'll be necessary to use a combo of slipper clutch in a can and some Lenco pieces attached to a Top Fuel center section.

The measurement I asked for will give me some idea as to where I'll have to start splicing.

Thanks much!!!

Hey Ken, it's tough to get in there and get an exact measurement, but from what I can see that distance is somewhere between 9 and 10 inches.  9-1/2" is a good guess, I think.  Hope that helps, and good luck with the project - Jay

Hi Jay---

Thanks for the prompt reply. About half of any project is knowing who to ask! :)
