Aaron,

Thinking of something I may be doing in the near(ish) future, who would you recommend locally to redrill some rotors. Will need to redrill a 5 stud rotor to a 4 stud. Thanks in advance :)

I'm using XB hubs on Starion spindles. Works nicely. Mine cop a flogging on the track too so they're plenty good enough.

If I were to do it again though, I'd go a different way and try for something lighter. XB gear isn't light.

Normally I get Matt @ Mr Enforcer in Chipping Norton to make/modify things like this. Has done a few sets of rotors for me over the years.

Transmission options

Ford C4
Powerglide
Turbo 350

What is cheaper to buy and modify later?

Could make adapter plate like this or just import one?

C4 would be the 1st option. Can get a shitter casing to use for mock up.

And I bought a 90cm x 60cm white board today.

widey auto = Jatco 4N71B, same as what hi-power VL turbo guys use, KEAS autos do upgrades for them, piss off the VR4 block and use a 4G64 van 6 bolt block, you can always do a 2.1 destroker with it if u want revs..

or you could run it on the VR4 block with an adapter plate and spacer or custom flex plate....

easy...
