you can still purchase j-type mainshafts for the GT6 box. <br />...obviousl=
y this means a total rebuild since you have to restack the gears on the new=
shaft.<br />the d and j type adapters (mount the o/d to the box) als=
o must be swapped.... and a single rail adapter moded to fit under the shif=
t lever...so hunt down an earlier ('74?) 3 rail j-type adapter (spit versio=
n is fine) <br /><br />current calculations says FIS6 is still around 136hp=

HP. It only makes the rest of the system more efficient. BUT breathi=

br /><br />As mentioned before, I am building a Spitfire bodied GT6, using =
a 73 GT6 chassis and running gear.<br /><br />I have 2 questions:<br /><br =
/>1- The GT6 has a 3 rail trans that can be mated to a D type overdrive. I =
was told the J- type overdrive is stronger and was used on 74 and later Spi=
tfires with the new, single rail, 'Marina' gearbox.<br />I happen to have b=
oth transmissions and was curious if I could adapt a J type overdrive to go=
on the 3 rail trans, or use the single rail on the GT6. Any tips?<br /><br=
/>2- I mentioned before I am also building the 2.0 liter inline 6 to be 'w=
armer', hoping for say 130 hp. Any recommendations on a cam and if I would =
need head work, better con rods, induction or exhaust improvements? <br /><=
br />Thanks for any wisdom you can impart. And also does anyone live near t=
he Ann Arbor area?<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />Joao<br /><br />** <a c=
