Reply to "Ricardo"

Mark,
You're not a nut by any means, the Ricardo has some advantadges over the ZF and it can be rather appealing. So I don't blame you for going that route, and I am quite interested to see your car when it has been completed.

The adapters to the engine and half shafts I'm not terribly concerned with. Niether am I over the mounting of the transaxle. All are time and money but not so much that I would consider them a deal breaker.

Thanks for the info on the shifter cables, I didnt know that they were routed under the intake on the GT. Same goes for the starter.

Do you know how far Steve had to move the frame rails on your car to get the ZF to fit? I am afraid I dont know the Input shaft to output shaft vertical distance on a Ricardo, so I dont really know how "low" the transaxle needs to sit in the car. Hopefully its not so great that a dry sump oiling system is required.

Thanks,
Dave
