Building a mid engined project car & find an in-line transaxle too expensive / complex for your project?? – do I have the kit for you!
I have a brand new V8 archie ls* adaptor kit. (www.v8archie.com).This kit was originally designed to fit the chev v8 into the pontiac fiero. It was later updated to suit the Alloy Ls* generation of v8's & the Pontiac f40 6 speed gearbox (this kit)
All items are brand new & have not even been fitted up. Kit consists of the following:
Pontiac f40 6 speed gearbox
Billet alloy adaptor ring
Starter motor & billet adaptor
Alloy flywheel, adaptor & heavy duty clutch
1/2 shaft with Ls* mounting
Pontiac G6 Lh & Rh driveshafts
Here is what it would look like bolted to an ls3:
& pics from v8archies web site showing ls3 setup on fiero subframe:
This kit will mount any Ls* generation of Chev v8 to the gearbox, allowing transverse (ie fwd type) fitment of the motor assembly into a "midi" or Toyota mr2 / Pontiac fiero / similar mid engined car
Basic Dimensions:
Gearbox to back face of block (inc the adaptor ring) 370mm
Back face of block to front of water pump pulley 660mm
Total width (inc spark plug leads etc) 600mm
Total height 700mm
Approx weight of motor & box - 260kg
Quaife makes an lsd to suit this gearbox
Kit was $Us5000, excluding the driveshafts & shipping (over $Au6,800 landed)
Was originally bought for a sw20 mr2 conversion that fell over
Sell massively under cost (was $5000) now $3,500
Pickup SE suburbs of Vic (Seaford) or can strap to a pallet & deliver to Dandenong E-Go depot
