Any project ideas for a Ferarri transaxle like this?

So the pinions gears are in such demand that trading them for New Ford Gt is a deal for them and obviously for us. We will see how this works out.

Man a Ford GT transaxle, Do I still put it in my 3 window? or something else? HHHMMMMMMM.

if that trade dont work ship it to me and i can use it for a boat anchor

According to the stories I heard, you guys (in Arkansas) use the whole truck and trailer as anchors!!!!!!!

So would you put the transaxle in the truck or the trailer kenny?

I'd love to see someone build a bas a$$ mid engine 2nd gen Corvair! Hard top or vert, eitherway, it's been done before, but a modern LSX version with a Ferrari transaxle would be a kick butt track car! call it the FerVair, or the Corrari! Slap on a blower, upgrade the suspension and brakes and I'd bet it would run with a Ford GT!

What about a GT-40 replica?

a high-tech modernized GT-40 would be pretty bad.

Hmm..

with that trade in mind...I would keep it Ford.

-58 Edsel vert.
-59 Fairlane (2-Door Sedan)
-60 Sunliner (vert Starliner)
-73/4 Thunderbird

I could think of a few more....

That would be cool, But isn't that the Ford GT?

What about a '55 F100 with some work like the '48 pickup you are working on now? (not gonna lie, that truck is hot. I cant wait to see it with some color on it.)

and even though it's the size of a small yacht, and roughly the same weight, a '64 Lincoln Continental would be cool. It is kinda beyond what I would consider using a transaxle for, but it still would be a slick ride.

it would certainly be very similar, but i think a slightly more racey version would be way cooler... and as similar as the ford gt looks, i think the mk2 gt-40 is still better looking



maybe with a set of slightly more modern wheels and whatever motor you want, really.

-also, i think the ferrari transaxle would be a pretty cool twist, just because of the ferrari-gt40 rivalry
