AMSQ3D Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Thinking of fitting a 2.5 engine, gearbox, and overdrive, into a Vitesse chasiss, car will not have a triumph body, so not worried about clearances etc, but which diff is best to fit. Presumably, the 2.5 diff has a different location system, not seen one, the chasiss is built for a vitesse diff, with two bolt locations at rear and rubber mounted wings at front. A mk1 1600 diff definitely fits, but won't be using it. Any help greatly appreciated - Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I reckon thet the 3.63 is the best/strongest option. As long as you want one that bolts straight in!. 3.27 works well with the 2.5, but a bit weak and too relaxed for some people. Weakness the problem for me, 3 broken in 25000 miles, but the 3.63 holding up well.Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Go for a Quaife or Gripper limited slip 4:11. Oout accelerate anything else on the road pretty much with a 2.5 in it, although top speed will be a bit lower. But at least then everyone will be able to sniff it :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 A 2.5 has to raise the Q of a saloon or TR6 gearbox, let alone diff., especially if you are making a Special bodied car.Consult the Binman: http://www.supersix.50megs.com/John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 You don't want to rev. a 2.5 as torque is the attribute of this engine. Go for a 3.63:1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
