Engine purchased, gearbox ordered
Hi all,
Just a quick update on my car. I have purchased the engine, an LS3, and I have ordered a gearbox from Mal Wood. A TKO600 5 speed box. Now sorting the other bits that I need for the engine. Car should be ready to collect from Warwick in a couple of weeks, and rear end is coming from Factory 5. Colour has been decided, the same colour scheme as Eleanor, from the Movie 'Gone in 60 seconds'. The fun has begun. |
Why the 5 speed and Factory Five rear end if you don't mind me asking.;)
|

As for the factory 5 rear end, something different from things here and I can also run deeper dish wheels without too much dicking around in the Harrison. The rear end looks fantastic as well, nothing like a good rear end.:D |

Hey TL, great stuff.
Should be a nice setup. What bell housing and throw out bearing is Mal supplying you?. What's your rear end ratio, the standard FFR 3.27?. By the way, I'm running a TKO600 with .82 5th gear behind my L76 with a 3.31 jag rear end. |
I think the factory Five comes as this .... Complete Rear Suspension: High-end 3-link deluxe rear suspension with new Ford Racing 8.8” rear solid axle/differential with posi-traction and 3.73 gears. Might have to check that 5th gear ratio .82 will give you about 44 mph at 2000 rpm you will need a .64 5th gear ration for around 2000 rpm at 60 mph.

With 3.73 rear with a .82 5th. will give 52mph at 2000rpm.
With 3.73 rear with a .64 5th. will give 66mph. at 2000rpm. Both with 295/50/15 rear tyres at 26.61 diam. |

Sambo, in my case it was fitting the T56 into the RMC. Not so much the length but the bulbous rear end of the box. The RMC has a very narrow tunnel.
Besides...I already had the TKO600. |

As for the bell housing and throw bearing, I'm not sure about that. I gave him the details and he came at me with what he would recomend for use in the Harrison. In speaking with Doug Pearce, I decided that I wouldn't worry about a 6 speed. I would like to get a 5 speed for my FJ40 with 350 Chev though!!!. |

I'm running 17" tyres as well (not sure on actual size yet), that may alter things slightly, but by a pooftenth in real terms. Looking forward to getting car in wonderful white gel coat in a couple of weeks. |
T.L., was there much work customising the Harrison chassis to accept the FF rear?
|
TL, the bellhousing that Mal sold me is a heap of $hit. Was really for a smaller flywheel and you also had to grind out a starter pocket. It was really a rework of the older chev bellhousing.
Checkout here for excellent bell housings. http://www.quicktimeinc.com/products.html |
The Quicktime 6036 looks the ticket for you.

Diffs
T.L.
I would start looking for a 3.5/3.7 diff now, very hard to get. I changed mine recently from a 3.9 to a 3.5 and it changed the car completely.......................:eek::eek::eek: Best thing I have done so far.. STIFFY |
