Slow78z Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 After watching Ken Block's new Gymkhana 7 video about 50 times it really got me a thinking, how could an LSX AWD drive train be installed in a Z car. Wouldn't it just be the meanest freakin car around? Except for the Hoonicorn of course. I did a little digging and found a few pics of a Trailblazer SS front diff setup and it's pretty darn compact and interesting. The diff itself bolts onto the side of the oil pan and then an intermediate shaft runs thru the pan to the other side where it connects to a bearing. Although the oil pan will probably hang down way to far, I bet some of the parts could be put to good use some how. The transfer case also looks way to big but I do remember the GMC Typhoon and Syclone transfer cases being a lot smaller. Ideas?!!!

Slow78z Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 About this awesome, give or take? That car must be super hush hush. All I can find is it's using a Toyota hilux front diff which looks to be solid. It's all writing though with no pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow78z Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) Here's Ken Block's transmission. I couldn't find a price on it but I bet it costs a lot. It looks like it even has a dry sump oiling system on it. Edited December 11, 2014 by Slow78z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwi303 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Holden did a 4wd version of their commodore v8 ute and stationwagon. The crewman and the cross-8 Maybe look at parts from Aussie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
