either gb engineering ( Geoff Beresford )or z cars ( Chris Allinson ) supply the drivetrain, think both have done in the past, The diff should be more than capable assuming it is in good condition

The transfer box is supplied by Chris Allanson of Z Cars

here

The 7" Sierra LSD diff should be fine for up to 350 bhp.

Cheers

Z-cars are very helpful. They are baffling the sump of my Gsxr 1100 engine, supplying a kit to let me keep the hydraulic clutch and a propshaft adaptor for £220!

If it was my money I would forget the 2 x zx9's and have a turbo'd Busa.

Yup i'd second that, more hp and the car will still go round corners like its supposed to. although if you think 2.5k is expensive a busa turbo will make your bottom lip tremble.


What about nitrous, that can be done on the cheap

Dont underestimate the cost and complexity of going down this route!! A friend of mine converted a Westfield from a car engine to twin ZX9 and he reckons it cost him over £12k to complete (not including the price of the car). Even after all that he then spent considerably more money making it all reliable including installing an oil pump and oil cooler to the transfer box to try to keep the oil temps down.
As Jasper says, if you want to spend silly money then spend it on a turbo Busa or something similar, or buy Tim's car straight from him in a ready sorted state!
