That's been done already and I guess it was quite simple....saw it at the seattle auto show a few ys ago!!! a 350 HP V-8 that can rev to 14,500rpms. some college kids did it for a project....

I think an opposing 8 (twin R1s) would be cool, because the crank wouldn't need any counterwieghts for ballanceing....a big wieght savings on recipricating mass.

No leeway for using the damn tiny PDA keyboard , eh

http://www.quaife.co.uk/
The QUAIFE is old news....
As far as I know the boxes that your refering to don't have hi and low ranges....and they are heavier than the one I use.
and cost more, too. For a 4x4 application thet are all too low geared...unless you get some tall-ass diffs installed...lol...the top speed will be like 45 with a QUAIFE

I dont understand why you would wanna be so discrete about the transmission? I thought we were all here to share information with each other???

who knows, thinks it's pretty gay if you ask me, the secretive part anyways, if your not gonna tell cause you want to start a biz doing them thats fine, then don't release until you are capable of selling or whatever, IMO. not trying to bash just don't agree with the way he is all secret about shit and vauge (sp) about it, but yet trying to convince us it's the best thing since sliced bread.
