The BAD AST Project - Faze II

[astroracer]

Another hurdle to jump over. I ordered a bunch of gaskets and seals for the GV unit I have, trying to get it installed before the engine/trans goes in. Anyway this unit is not going to cut it behind the 509. I talked with Dave at GV and he filled me in on the old J style OD units... They were not intended to go behind any kind of HP or Torq input. He said the 509 will shred the unit about the first time you hit it hard... Not good news. I put the unit on eBay last night at 8pm. It sold this morning, buy it now, at about 9am. 13 hrs. and it is gone... I will be calling Dave today to get the new unit on the way.
The big problem with this unit is the size of the output shaft. The slip yoke that came with the unit is 1.38 inches in diameter.
The TH400 output is on the right...

I guess this is taken care of. Waiting on the new unit I have plenty to do to use up the time...
