Thunderbolt Part 4 - Rear end, Engine Prep & the Transmission Arrives!!

[★ Shandelle ★]

Time for a new segment. Tom is making good progress and lots of little details in this one.

This time we continue work modifying our chassis, mount our Getrag differential, take a look at our Tremec Magnum and then modify our LS376/525 so it will work well in our Miata.

Big plastered ads for Summit but no love for http://www.V8Roadsters.com ?

Still a great video, but some some love for all the R&D that V8Roadsters put into this awesome kit, just saying.

V8 Roadsters probably didn't pay for this series like Summit did but no doubt this would be much more difficult without the excellent, bolt-on ingenuity of V8 Roadsters.

BTW, an LS3 in a Miata is nuts. In my ride, I'm still losing traction in second at full throttle and mine weighs a thousand pounds more. I think a Miata with an LS3 would be better served tuned down in which case an LS1 makes more sense if you can call a V8 Miata sensical at all.
