Hello All,
I'm researching some options for the GTM kit car beforing committing to the purchase.
Transaxle:
The recommendation calls for the Porshe, or aftermarket alternative to mate with the
LS series engines.
What are the complications, and possibilities of using the C5 transaxle instead?
This may require moving the engine mounts, and/or modifying the tube frame.
Would this be a monster task, or is it worth the trade off in order to utilize the donor
car transmission?
It would also be nice to keep the 6th gear for highway cruising and fuel economy...
'cause god knows my foot will be into this machine 99.9% of the time otherwise!
Exhaust
I may opt to use the motor from my Camaro to power the GTM. It has a set of
long tube headers which I'd hate to leave behind. Does the rear configuraiton allow
for a long tube header, or are you limited to custom/mid length headers?
Throttle Linkage
If using the LS1 from my Camaro, does anyone oppose the use of a cable system
to control the throttle blade?
Thank you kindly for your advice and tips!
