What type of heat treatment on the miter gears? Are they Carburized? What is the center bore size? You idea looks great and casting your own parts is inspiring :cheers:

Gears are S45C teeth are induction hardened 50-60 HRC. The body of the gear is machinable so plan is to open up bore to 40mm and fix gear to shaft using ARP shouldered ring gear bolts after trimming the boss down some.

Have been working on it and a few other items see photos. I picked up the main gear case housing last Thursday along with some other bits I have been working on. Side tracked into building a trailer for my hotrod at present and mulling over the gearbox design and whether John Burks idea or an Extremeliner might be a better option given the efforts that will be required to go racing at some point.
Ronnie: No more block cutting for a while I hope, spent a bit of time in that endeavor a few years ago though. :-D

That is a serious amount of handle turning. Nice work. JB
I`d never advocate drugs,alcohol,violence or insanity to anyone...But they work for me.
