Anyone know how long it takes before this guy needs to rebuild his running gear?

What an incredible waste of time and money.

I'd say within a 100 miles.

Sheesh - If you are going to do that much work then you might as well come up with a different transfer case as that will probably be the first thing to go with the additional power.

Better yet - just get a Tatra...

Anyone recognize that V8? Weird place for the distributor - but it says its an overhead 4 cam engine...

An Audi V8.. it's in the description for the next video.

NOW, I don't feel bad about "thinking" of a Tornado drivetrain installed mid engine for a dragster Pinz. :shock: :lol: :twisted:

I would think that under power on trail it would rip the splines off the shaft. ...although it would put a great weight on the tires for traction.
Not a project where I would put my money.
If that red thing is the final product it appears to be a great place to dry your clothes.
