I wonder if they used the low helix angle gears and also how hard the heat treat is. The Richmond gear super T-10’s (my friend bought one new) don’t seem to hold up like the originals and it’s due to the gears being harder thus more brittle. They did that for wear, the old ones would wear teeth out but the Richmond’s just shatter… he had to do a bunch of set up/ mixing synchros to get the clearances right so it would shift half decent too… and it was over $4k maple syrups. You could break a lot of chinesium for that many maple syrups! Actually I grenaded my original borg warner T-10 a couple times (shock loads with an 800hp BBC) and replaced the input shaft with “no name” cheap replacement the first time and it held up to the next break… Gas law reviews today and PID controllers in automation and controls… one of the fellow “old guy” students 71?

AngrySailor Posted May 15 Author Posted May 15 So I got called to the principals office… I hurt someone’s feelings😆 the big wig was laughing, we’re about the same age. He said these college kids now are soft. When he was in college he did a dumb and his professor told to to get on his knees and open wide so he could (forcefully) insert some sense into his skull 🤣 he said he’s wanted to use that line for the last 20 years but gotta think it not say it. I kept my mouth shut enough it’s not a hate crime but this chick is stirring the pot. 1 1 Quote

Said it was a Banks motor If the price was a lower it would be worth it for just the motor It’s an interesting set up, looks like it’s a draw through carb and the manifold is split horizontally pre-post turbo. I have a “PFM” twin turbo set up from the late 60’s kicking around which is “performance first marine” which apparently became Banks soon afterwards. It’s a draw through but the carb is mounted between the turbos away from the motor, the turbo outlets go to a hat that bolts to the carb flange. 7 hours ago, jeeper61 said: Frame is painted and engine fires https://www.facebook.com/reel/850061781486036 Heck yah! 1 Quote

I think the carb set up is easier when it's not on the pressurized side. Much easier on modern ECM set ups Quote
