Trashed ZF wanted

G Guest
I am looking for a trashed ZF that's not too trashed. I don't need one that has grenaded itself or should be sold for scrap prices. Bad ring and pinion, bad bearings, gear sets, shafts or synchros OK. Guess if all those pieces are bad then it would be cheaper to buy a new one.

I'm going to make the jump into ZF repair and tweaking. Since I have rebuilt a couple dozen manual transmissions and have set up a couple dozen differentials I don't think there will be many surprises. Pinion depths, pre-loads, end-play and a real good eye for machined surface defects are fairly universal.

Please email me offline at info@xtremeclassics.com

Thanks,

Mark

is the motor for sale??


I have 232 miles on it and I can make you one just like it.

The Hilborn EFI and the Electromotive ECU make the whole package run so sweet. It has all the bad habits of today's computer driven systems, none. It simply rocks. Not recommended for the mechanically/computer'ally timid.

How much?

The long block (351/427 stroker with Edelbrock Victor Jr. heads) cost me (get this) $6666 and the 55mm Hilborn without Hilborn's analog control system was about $3000. The Electromotive set up cost at least $3000 with the ECU and all the sensors, cam sync and wiring. Then there's installation and mapping the air/fuel and ignition for proper tune.

That was all nearly three years ago. $12.6K is probably closer to $15.6K. You can get one from Roush with injection for around $12K today. But their fuel delivery system design can not match mine and they were running an MSD engine controller.

I'd say a monster set up like this might cost upward of $20K.

Does make me look like Smiling Bob in those commercials when I stand on it.
