[FC] Trans axel

[Joel Rushworth]

I've never heard of any Corvair transmission refered to as a "Muncie
Rockcrusher".  It is generally agreed that the '66-69 Saginaw is the
strongest of the 'vair trannys.  The diffs are essentially the same, and in
stock configuration would also be a weak point for a 250hp engine, with only
2 spider gears repeated hard launches have a tendency to break the spider
gears.  Kits to modify the diff to a 4 spider gear configuration are
available.

Regards,
Joel

I'm looking on using a Corvair transaxle to a 250HP motor.  Will the "so
called " Muncy Rockcrusher  Corvair transaxle handle the load?  What
other trans axel be used to handle the HP if a Corvair would not work?
