wingnutthehutt Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hey everybody, I know this is totally off continent, but I figured I'd give it a shot. Does anyone know where I can get info about the power handling capabilities of early 60s Pontiac transaxles? The only contact I have is Arnie Beswick and I'd rather not bother him as he's a customer where I work, but not mine. I have a 63 tempest and I'm debating driveline changes. Any help, directions, contentions that I should f-off are much appreciated. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Unless that car is a total rust bucket, leave it alone! Those cars are rare. If it is a total rust bucket, and you want to use the rear, you are probably on your own. I don't think anyone here has any experience with that one.

wingnutthehutt Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 The car is "fairly" solid. Some minor issues here and there, but nothing that your average Z wouldn't have. The rear needs rebuilt, it has a serious growl. The difficult part is that I can't just call up Strange and say, hey, send me kit PRP130-rbld or something. I'd like to keep it in there. The original plan was to swap the floor pan out from a firebird and go to a 12 bolt, but it's just so cool I'd hate to mod it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzzzzzz Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I saw one bolted to a BBC and stuffed into a 911 years ago. It seemed to be holding up well to high torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, that might be a good place for me to start looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
