930 long vs short

[doozer]

How much is cut off of a 930 trans to make it a short bellhousing one?

If you use a long bellhousing one, how far back do you have to move the engine?

Thanks for your help!

[john walker's workshop]

just get a 76/77 930 trans. they're already short.

[doozer]

Yes, I know but I cant fit the Tilton triple plate clutch and hydraulic throwout bearing in the short bellhousing so I need to use the uncut long belhousing and move the engine/trans back a bit.

I need to know the exact measurement...

76/77 trannys are already short but kinda rare and thus expensive (despite having exactly same internals as newer 930 transmissions).

People like them beacuse they fit in SC bolt-on.

My understanding is that doozer actually needs long bellhouse tranny in order to use Tilton heavy duty clutch, which is kinda pleasent problem. You can probably get two long-bellhousing trannys for a price of one.

This is approximate difference:

Thanks Goran, I called around and got more than an inch, but no one wants to say x.x" or xxmm

I think I have exact length information somewhere...just give me few hours.

Thanks Goran! That would save the day!

Found it:

You will have to cut it down ( the bell housing and the input shaft)
about 1.2 inches. the other issue is by cutting it you also cut out the
centering ring on the trans so you will have to fabricate an adapter ring on
the trans to locate it.

got it from other Pelicanite called Steve F.

Thanks Goran!

Another guy told me .200 he must have meant 1.200

If I shoot for 2" of clearence I should be good..

doozer ... can you share your Tilton clutch/pp/tob part numbers?
I'm looking to do the same thing eventually.
Thanks ...

Project935, yes I will as soon as the Tilton Tech and I figure out what will fit due to the need of a custom flywheel ( 930 to V8 ). I will also document the whole process with photographs and put it on my site..

Thanks
