It just keeps all the angles in check

Well, I know it's been a while, but I figured I would share some pictures with you guys. I'm still waiting on some parts for the install. I almost feel bad putting the tranny under the car where no one will see it, because it looks really nice on my shop floor. I'm just hoping after the install, it' won't have anymore time on my shop floor!

sick. Keep posting pictures. Please.
What ratios did you go with? |
Damn those things are pretty. It looks so tiny and you would think it would only weigh about 50 pounds. But those gears are heavy duty.
|
I bet it is strong and light. A buddy of mine is running a Jerico competitor with a fairly tall rear gear and a tall first gear. He coasts through the pits pretty quickly at idle and uses a winch to load the car on the trailer, but first gear is a very usable gear on the track for him (turn 7 at Road Atlanta) and he can still reach 160+ in top gear regularly on the back straight. It's a SBC engine though.
|
Well my gear ratios are really strange and prob useless for you since it's an autocross only car.
I'll work on posting pics as the progress continues. |

Yeah, the track snobs can either change their diff to run around the 1:1 4th gear. or run ALLOFIT with a gearvendors overdrive. Cause if you're spending a few grand, why not spend a few grand more. 8 gears should make them happy. There's an incredible amount of ratios looking at Jerico's 4speed gear ratio chart.

The overdrive is interesting. Is it also side shifted so possible to build an insane shifter that automatically shifts it as you move and moves back to 1st gear. (yay for complex as shit linkages). |
umm... yeah my gearing isn't convential lol. There is a HUGE rpm drop from 3rd to 4th in my box.
You can make this box work on the track of course, but a five speed would be better for the track. |

Ok so after an extremely long pause on building my car. I've got the ball rolling again and here are some pictures guys.
|
Damn this is the first time I've seen actual pictures of this bell housing. They aint fucking around with making it explosion proof. That plate that replaces the "gasket" is thick as fuck.
|
Sexxxyyy! If I end up with all of the horsepower one day and nobody has come up with a good five speed solution then I may be following you right down this path.
|
Christ almighty, what does that thing weigh? Just the bellhousing itself
|
godddamnnn on that bellhousing, shit. Very nice.
|
Yeah I don't think I'll have to worry about it breaking huh?
The weight of the stock 5spd compared to the "complete" Jerico/Bell Housing is basically the same. |
