Any project ideas for a Ferarri transaxle like this? - Lateral-g Forums

Earlier this summer Eric and I stopped at Tom Hanna's shop on our way to Columbus, Tom mentioned he had a few Ferarri tranaxles laying around that he did not know what he would use them for. I called him at a later date to inquire if one could be bought. He said if I got both to work I could have 1. So now the wheels begin turned, What should this go it? They are from a ferarri 456 I think it is. The internal guts are based off a GM 4T80 trans that is just a front wheel drive 4L80 trans. The trans is behind the rear axle center line. So rear weight and interior space are in my favor.

I have a few ideas, But what do you guys think?

What about a Corvair? Or a tube framed squareback? I do like the Volvo idea too. What are the options for engines with that?

Hey! I'm going to sic my friend Timmy Diver on you for trying to steal his build!!

BTW - If you want "Ferrambo" - Just call him and buy it - Mike doesn't want it anymore!

Roger -- It would be WAY kool in Jasons BUICK....

We could call it "The Ferick"... then you could do a follow up build and we'd call that "The Frack"...

So then you can take them and sell them as a pair - at BJ auction. You can get up on stage with a blazer that matches their colors! Hell man! You'd be FAMOUS... and would forever be known for building the Freick 'n' Frack.
