I can't remember very clearly either way, but there was a thread about that. I think when someone fitted a cosworth engine to the car.

I recall the builders of the Greddy car telling Super Street that the trans housing was not compatible, which caused them to make a custom one.

Ah, so they keep the engine.

Damn. That's awfully tempting. Any projection on how well this is going to work out, in advance? A guess?

Will the result be rwd or will you attempt to use all four axles?

Doug@WGP · 09-04-2012, 08:21 AM

We're planning on RWD until we get a better look at the spindles and other geometry.
