" From: Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx> " " Recent Corvette's use a transaxle connected to the engine with a long " driveshaft (it looks like a torque tube but doesn't locate the rear " suspension). yup, the c5. gotta be $$ though, even from a wreck. " Also, Oldsmobile Toronados used a transaxle behind their 455's " which made gobs or torque. Those transaxles are basically a TH-400 split in " half and connected with a chain (which is their weak point) and end up " being pretty compact. ~'80 toros had a similar smaller th325 in both 3sp and 4sp versions behind their 350s. this is a relative of the th350 and maybe 700r4 i believe. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought
