1965 garage find turbo Corsa convertible
Assembling Crown kit with late LT-1 Camaro 350 with intake reversed for this install.
I also have a Corvette C5 full front & rear suspension pullout coming for the car now. I bought them wheel to wheel - everything. I'll mount new transaxle on cradle and fab from there.

This Transaxle is one of the factory GT-40 spare gearboxes that went to Europe in the late '60's. It is an early -0 unit with sequential shifting to keep drivers from over-rev the motors.
The owner of RBT transmissions is building a late model -2 unit for my project that we can swap straight
across.
There are only 4-sets of bearings for my early 5-speed transaxle in the world!
This is the shape it arrived to me in, sitting on a shelf 20-odd years - new inside, never used.

October, 2014 - I'm starting to disassemble corvette stuff for narrowing and modification.
