    Hmm... Why not give the Delorean a AJ-V8 with a Weiand Blower?

    LOL.. It was just a joke...

    However I do have quite a bit of respect for the AJ-V8... That Jag engine is quite good.

    I was just watching Mad Max and thought what if... LOL.

    I see the mustang engine has lost the lead on the poll. I'm guessing its due to the number of aftermarket parts, etc.. for the LS engines.

    trans

    Hey guys,

    I know it's been a long time since I have posted, truth is, I finally just got the trans back. Hopefully there is still some interest on here still. I need all the ambition I can muster up. In my buddy's defense, He did a beautiful job on the tranny, and it was more of a favor to me so I had to be patient with him. I will post some pics tmw



    Thx

    I know one guy who's damn well still interested. Lol. It's the stock trans with the new input shaft you spoke of, right?

    Yes, lol,

    New input shaft was made out of 300M material . Spline is the bigger 1 1/6" x 10 coarse spline. Gears were shot peened, cryogenically treated and rem finished. He also made new carbon syncros and block rings. The reason for using a ford bell and not an adapter plate was so I could utilize the larger ford 11" clutch. I noticed an LS1 and VR 6 swap happening as well,,,,,,,,, My hat's off to those guys for doing nice work and relatively quick!! (compared to me,lol)
