[Fot] GT6 Rear End Needed 3.91

[kkjjk at aol.com]

 Thanks for the info, Frank.  I see that the German GT6 had the 3:27 rear with overdrive.  My son put the 3:27 in his '72 GT6, which came with the 3;89/overdrive option from the factory.  We (he, my brother and myself) think the 3;27/overdrive is the best (street) combo of all.

Terry, I think I have one here in Macclenny. It's off a non OD Spit 1500, which I think makes it a 3.89. You're welcome to come check it out. Don

FOT - During qualifying for Kastner Cup my flywheel sheared off!  Thanks to Tim Slater for help diagnosing in the paddock!   Took the Spit to Andy Greene Sports and Vintage Race Cars in Savannah.  (Andy bought Ted Wentz's Savannah Race & Engineering in June 2020). Crank was broken as well.  Rebuilding engine & hope to be a VDCA Hurricane in Savannah in Sep!

Hoping someone can help - Looking to source a 3.91 GT6 rear.  Apparently PO put a 4.55 in the car for hill climbs!

Thanks,
