Technical Early Ford Quick Change Banjo Build

  1. What a great thread @brsturges put together! And we miss Bruce, too. What a great guy—and a wealth of information—he was.

    Here's a short video explaining how to shim helical gears using either a depth mic or calipers and a straight edge:



    Just be sure to measure with the gasket in place. Let me know if we can answer any questions.

    Winters Performance;
    Not trying to hijack the thread, but can you tell me how much power(torque) the straight-cut gears will take before damage to either the teeth or the splines? I'm thinking about using them as a reverser in a situation where the transaxle ring gear can't be flipped(like in an acvw version). Most people talk HP, but I suppose torque is more accurate, & I can back-figure max engine torque allowed from gearing(s). Also, is the acceptable amount linear, related to the thickness of the gears(like if half the thickness, only half of the capability?), & is there a strength variance a**** the different diameters of the qc gears? What I'm chasing, wouldn't need the original shaft-spacing, since a pair of the largest dia gears would net a larger spacing. If you guys wouldn't mind saying. It's possible someone else could be interested in the capabilities also. ???
    TIA.
