Popular Post Freightrain Posted January 12 Popular Post Share Posted January 12 I'm working with Kevin All to get some newer pieces for the B. Tip turbine parts to be able to increase power a touch AND a 16713 transmission to relieve the old triplex from active duty. Was going to just get another triplex and get it rebuilt but it still is limited powerwise. He has a 16713 which will not have issues with my power level. I likely will end up removing the little Spicer 6241 also. It is starting to leak and it also is power limited. The 16713 is double OD so I will still have pretty long legs. Top gear should get me 1500 rpm @ 65 mph. That is basically what the Spicer does for me if I use that OD. But 1500 rpm makes both of the boxes grunt under any kind of load. I don't like hearing those kinds of noises from 50 yr old transmissions that aren't rated for this much torque. It's all in the slow works. Not sure if it will come together before racing season starts and don't have the time to tear into it. 3 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
