    FREE: Drivetrain Parts

    Last round of price drops before this stuff heads to eBay and/or the scrap yard. I've got a couple of requests for small parts to follow up on. If you need something - PM me, I'll check to see if I have it and we can work something out.

My eyeball and measuring tape measurements would suggest it is possible to do something like that, but it would require a...

    Has anyone seen this ad for a 5 speed transmission for alpines...

    Hi folks, A bit late to the discussion. I looked at the Ebay auction for quite a while, trying to figure out what this transmission "was". After comparing a 4-speed Rootes box and a Ford T9, I believe that what this gearbox is, is a mashup of those two gearboxes. Some eyeball and quick...

    Wheels Wider In Front Than Back

    I'm almost positive Rootes engineers knew what they were doing re: track width. Track width is inversely proportional to weight transference during cornering. Narrowing the rear track width, relative to the front, allows for several things. 1) Lighter IN/LB spring rates in the front 2)...
