Here's the scoop: I'm now looking to build adapter plates for the Mitsubishi engines. In the passing 2 years, I've aquired alot of vital infomation on the bolt patterns. I currenlty have dimensions for the 4G63, 6G72, G54 and the 420A along with bolt patterns for various Chrysler, GM and some Ford(still working on it) transmissions. The plates would be steel. This makes them cheaper to produce and if someone were to use this as a mid-motor plate, they could easily weld to it.
Now, at the same time, alot of you are looking at other foreign tranmissions to use in RWD applications. The toyota W-58? comes to mind. I don't have dimensions for that, but do have connections to Nissan. So, question is: Is there a Nissan transmission that many of you might consider using?
I'm in the process of getting quotes from several prototype companies in the area that I have already had dealings with before. There would be no Group Buy crap. We've all seen that go south on too many times. I'd front all costs. You'd simply buy the product. For prototypes, I'll be offering two souls the oppertunity to have (at a seriously reduced cost) an adapter plate to use/keep. In return, I'd expect feedback on the plate.
Second, the person(s) I chose to 'essentially give' the plates too, would need to be deep into their project. Meaning, not someone that wants to a Mitsubishi powered (insert name of car) down the road 5 years or 2 years. It'd have to be within a year or close to. The farther along you are the better. If you think you fit the bill, PM me.
Third, is there anyone willing to utilize a Chrysler tranmission in their RWD application? The most complete specs/tolerances stack-ups I have are for Chrysler applications and I'd prefer one of the first two be Chrysler. The second one a GM application. This also opens up the door to utilize Chrysler FWD transmissions in DSM's. There are some good Getrag trannies out there.
The intent with these is to use a block/trans adapter plate in conjuction with a crank/flywheel/flexplate adapter plate. This allows you to use a much larger Chrylser/GM/Ford clutch with the Chrylser/GM/Ford flywheel/flexplate. The result: Larger/cheaper selection of clutches to use. You would have to purchase the corresponding flywheel with your tranmission.
