Lots of problems to solve ahead of you but it will be worth it in the end.
In the next year or so we should be able to organise a convoy of 10 - 15 Viento's to one of the shows.....
That will produce a big CO2 footprint!!!!!!!!!

best to keep it a bit simpler for the moment i guess as im sure its going to be
hard as it is to get it all to work with out complicating it with extra driveshafts and stuff
the 6 speed R34 skyline box is a getrag, and i think its the same make as the dodge pickup 4x4, so they may do a bellhousing that would alow fitting.

that would be a good place to also get the drivetrain as well then, but maybe the ratios arnt as good as those you can get with the the mustang
diff
ah so you have considered the option and even done some research , thats good to see
have to keep a eye open on your build and any of your future builds cause as it sounds very interesting

it took longer to sort the money out for this project than i first thought, so i spent the time on the internet doing research, as its such a major
project i wanted to make sure i new as much as i could, i spent ages researching the ford modular v8 as well, plan on building something mental with
one of them at some tme with twin turbos..

Not too bad once you offset the carbon saved from driving a car made from recycled parts and not in a korean factory out of plastics and fabrics from
the 4 corners of the earth.

was talking to the owner of rally design today and from what i can tell, the front sierra hubs are a "make do", the setup seems to be
originaly designed for cortina uprights, but when i asked bens brother if i could use cortina uprights he said no, the question is, if i can't
why, or can i.
