[DeTomaso] Tran Fortin 5-speed in a Pantera ?

When I bought the Quaife, RBT wasn't yet a viable option, and I bought it
for the GT40....which is currently disassembled.  We are playing with the
idea if setting it up to run in the Pantera because the ratios are a bit
different, and the original is 45 years old.

Any idea what would be different....we have a Ford 347 small block
endurance race motor in the GT40.  I would think it would be an easy
project???

   George,
   I forgot to mention that even the Fortin has a weak reverse.A  I have
   broken
   the Fortin 5 speed only once -- and it was because I was stuck in silt
   and
   needed reverse to get out.A  I blew out reverse, and the bits found
   their
   way every else, eventually taking out another gear, and then another,
   and
   then another.A  But it was all due to me working reverse too hard.A  I
   doubt
   you would have the problem in a street car.
   But, as Les says, a dog tooth box will be noisy in a street Pantera,,
   but
   at least the noise is out back and not between the two seats.A  I also
   find
   the dog tooth box not all that easy to shift unless you match RPM -
   which
   becomes a bit of a pain after a while for a street car.A  Great for
   racing,
   not so much for the street.A  So, for these reasons (noise and more
   relaxed
   street driving), I went with the Quaiffe for my GT40.
