Yes too large, the one that Mcmaster sells is 3 1/2" L x 3" W, also to large. If I wasn't too concerned about cutting into the chassis and body this would be fine. For argument sake, would I need a clutch with this Gearbox setup?

I'm going to call Jan Gilmer and find out exactly what he used.

Emilio:

I'm following this closely because I have a brand new never used Abitar Predator engine.

Rc look at this photo, clearly the gearbox is less than 3" wide?

Hi Kaye, can you send me a photo of the overall height, length and width of the engine?

I've emailed you instruction manual / dimensioned drawing and a pic.

The C138801 fits perfectly...Now you just Need a chain between the two axis.

YES!!! thank you Micheal, I will order one and let you know.

Should have the gearbox by the end of the week. It cost 249.00 dollars. I'll post photos of the gearbox in the Gilmer. Fingers crossed.

Anything new yet Michael?

There is one thing at this car that I never liked - the seat.

Very nice Michael, I think it's going to look rich and beautiful when finished.
