I was too busy today to get DOnsbusbox a call today but I did have time to determine tonight that I will use the 091 flipped on its' back in a mid engine setup.Doing so though makes it necessary to go to the dreaded uj axles I am not fond of but if that's what I have to do it's what I have to do.  WHat are your preferences in shafts?

loyalty to the American people."

It does have the super diff and I don't really doubt it has the weddle stuff in it but the crud pisses me off! And due to the crud and lack of concern for a clean reassembly it puts the seed of doubt in a persons mind about the quality of the unit for sure.

damn near the whole industry is going this way fast, it's sad really sad they are going to hurt/kill someone.

A buick engine? I have one in my car. I'm betting you have the supercharged version?

I actually went for a ride in a rail with the supercharger, even had an extra 5lbs of boost and I wan't impressed so I went with the standard 3800 series II. I do like the tq but a couple thousand extra rpm would be nice.  ;D

ok, I actually work with front wheel drives all day long, but never heard them called that. that makes a number of post more clear now.

I can't say I know of any on foreign or domestic front wheel drive cars but I have seen a few on the rear of bmw's that might, like the z3 and such. I don't know if you would get the angle out of them though. surely someone makes a drive flange for the 934's onto a bus transaxle by now.

Gene or kfab from the other board would know. They are running the non plunging units. They are GKN, so they are not cheap, but allow for about 40*.

Didn't k-fab have problems with them? Gene's not gotten any time on his yet has he?

K had probs with the axles which were too thin for his application. No, gene doesn't have much time on them, but being GKN, they are top notch.
