Belford - Audi Adapter Kit
For everybody looking to mate a LT1, or SBC to the Audi 5000 transmission,
This picture shows all of what is included in the kit from Kennedy
Engineered Products. The kit I have shown is with a stage II clutch
mounted to the custom flywheel.
This Photo shows the the adapter, custom starter, aluminum flywheel with
steel ring gear, throw out bearing, stage II clutch package and all mounting
hardware. The workman ship is exceptional, everything needed to mate is
included.
Total kit cost $1,070.00 US dollars but if you don't order the clutch
setup, you can pick it up for $650.00 dollars. The adapter plate it 3/4"
thick, but I dont see that as being a problem with my setup. |

| Adapter Plate and Flywheel
Mounted the Adapter plate and Flywheel O recieved from KEP, everything
fit perfectly, I also test fit the starter, and then removed it for safe
keeping, it also fit correct

| Transmission Height
okay here's a perfect example of measure 5 times build once, and for gods
sake only tack weld in place till you know it works. I will have alot
of grinding to do to relocate the engine up about 3 inches. The angle
is not as bad as the photo shows only about 2 deg's off center for the
axels, but way to low.

| Rear View
Here's a good shot of the transmission height before I raise it up 3 inches,
will pretty much disappear behind the fiberglass, plus I can redo the
cross member out of tub to get more ground clearance. Like I said before,
measure 5 times for your one time build. I have created alot of excess
work for myself

Cutting a bellhousing with a skill saw, no kidding. I used a table saw with a cast iron top and a saw with a fine tooth carbide blade positioned parallel to the table top and slowly push the aluminum bellhousing into it.
Shortening a transaxle with a skill saw, it worked. Same as above but the transaxle mainshaft fits in the table saw blade hole. I just spun the transaxle into the skillsaw blade and cut 1 inch off it. This is a Porsche 901 not some top notch G50.
Fabricating a plate to adapt a SBF Ford 302 to a Porsche 901 transaxle. I used 1 inch thick aircraft aluminum, positioning the transaxle into the Ford block using the pilot bearing for orientation The depth was established by the bell housing remains, and the transaxle modification. Predetermined by exhaustive research and development - using tape measure at junkyard. That's the quick version. The car is fast oh and make your pulleys on your bench grinder.
About the pulleys, I should ad, rough cut the aluminum and replace the grinding wheel with it and turn it with a shaped screwdriver.
